Base on both amps above which offer superior performance?.any input would do, regardless of system line up.

If your speakers have an impedance curve that goes low I would go with the MacCormack as Quads did not especially like low impedance loads. I would lean toward the Mac myself but it would depend on the rest of your system and personal taste.
