Better B&K amp?

I need some advice. Which would be a better amp to buy?
- B&K ST-202+
- B&K EX442

They both have received good reviews.

Superb performance, quiet no noise and warm tube-like, and at a very low price. I have the 202+ and M200 Sonatas. The 202+, 12 years old, has run 4 pair of Polk 55rti's simultaneously with no protection--the sound was spectacular. No strain at all. It now runs Maggies. Need I say more. I would suggest you use a tube preamp.

I love it very sweet and punchy. better than the 202+ because its dual mono better transieent response.Driving polk audio monitor10's also have a B&K ST 1400 for the second system pre amps are Audio research LS-7 and Adcom 545 Go for the EX 442
