Help narrow down front system & amp. choices for SQ sytem

[buggsson 10+ year member]

So, I have finally reached a what I believe to be managable number of options for the front system. I have three main choices with two sleeper options for later if need be. The three main contenders are:

DLS Iridium 6.2i

Hertz MLK165

Morel Elate 6

I think that it don't really matter which two-way system I end up with, what I really feel is a difficult choice, is choosing the amps to go with the speakers. I've talket with DLS shops and Hertz shops, and I feel their suggestions is too expensive, I don't think that amps is that important, even though I believe they can have an influence on sound. The DLS suggested the RA40 but that will only give 4x75W at 4 ohms, and the Hertz guy, suggested the Hertz HP series over the EP series.

I would like to be able to give the woofers +200 clean watts, so maybe 2 separate amps for the front system, would be better, there are few useful 4 channel amps that deliver more than 4x150W? I am seriously considering using a 4 channel amp in bridge mode for the woofers, that will give me more options?

For two separate amps, my present view led me to the following:

Steg QM75.2

Audison SRx 2

Audison LRx 2150

Steg QM75.4

Helix H400 Esprit

So, it is essentially amp suggestions for the three kits above I'm looking for.

Budget, I have to get what it takes to do the kits justice, but I will go as cheap as possible with that in mind.

Hah - most people tend to go with a bridged amp for the comps - unless you want to go active. If you don't want to go active, then by all means, get a good amp and bridge it.

I used to look at expensive amps.. then I thought.. would I be able to tell the difference (my ears not my wallet). Then I just went with what I could afford.

maybe i'm just a broke ***.
