ATI AT4003 / ATI AT543NC for ATC SCM / Dyndaudio


Looking for an amp that will last a while and which is more than adequate for speakers like ATC SCM 19v2 or Dynaudio.
 
Seems like ATIs are great value and I want to explore the path of SS amp and Tube preamp. 

The only difference I can see(I am an amp noob) is SNR and THD are better for AT400x series but the wattage is quite different for both amps. Anyone tried both of them and can comment why would you pick one over the other?. I think AT600x are good but are just too bulky for my taste

 200 Watts is good with ATC. I am not familiar with ATI. 

The 4003 is more of a traditional audiophile design. Class D amplifiers are not yet mainstream for audiophiles but they can be brilliant. You have to consider that Class D, even if done to perfection, will likely inject more noise back into the rest of your system through mains and ground loops etc.
