Help me choose a receiver,Rotel1550, Arcam 400 or

Marantz 7005, I have center b&w speaker htm2, also will upgrade from my 602's to 805s, present reciever is Marantz 5004, sub is paradigm seismic 110 (love my sub for now) am I in the right track? I was told that Rotel works well with b&w speakers.
Any input would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

I have owned the Arcam A90 and Rotel RA-1062 integrated amps and used them with B&W 602s3 bookshelves. I preferred the sound of the cheaper Rotel with B&W and my local dealer also strongly recommended Rotel gear with B&W..... I thought the A90 would be a step-up, but the synergy just wasn't there?

Mik971,
I'm getting back into improving my HT sound system and need some help,
I feel that I should upgrade my receiver (marantz 5004) in order to enjoy my speakers and the Rotel reviews sound great, I'm not looking for bells and whistles just good sound.
However since I could'nt find a way to audition them except for the Marantz 7005, I rely on advice and experience of this wonderful forum.
Thank you for your input.
