I'd say it completely depends on the rest of your system.
When I had some Genesis loudspeakers, I asked the manufacturer which amplifier at a given budget would be the best match. Paul McGowan personally responded and said that he & Arnie Nudell both agreed that I would save money and get better sound by purchasing a Parasound HCA-3500 instead of a Krell KSA-200s or KSA-150.
I followed their advice (as well as some detailed biasing instructions for the Paraound) and was NOT disappointed.
