Rotel RA-1592 vs McIntosh MA252 on B&W 702 s2

I was offered a trade in on the McIntosh MA252 for 3k so they are both a comparable price. the Rotel is 200W per channel and the McIntosh is 100W per channel but I have been told the McIntosh pushes way above its weight. Which is better for my speakers since they are fairly power hungry? I am also using them for Home Theater and really want to get as much volume and deep bass as I can out of them. Thanks!

Is there something lacking in your current system configuration? Speakers are 90db sensitivity which is not too bad... If you want more bass/sub-bass get a sub or think about different speakers... Have you thought about tube rolling? Maybe get the Rotel for a home trial and compare the two side by side... I’ll bet you never use 50W from your McIntosh...

Good luck in your choices...
