I have heard both.
I was on a similar quest earlier this year (see my post) asking a similar question. I was looking to run them on Devore O/96
I heard the Air Tight ATM-300R on a 87dB speaker (I don't know what the dealer was thinking while setting it up!!!) and the MQ-300 on a 90ish dB Triangle speaker.
Both on completely different systems so hard to compare.
But I loved the MQ-300, it is by far the best amp I have heard. Although I agree that you should look for higher powered amps, both of these amps might drive your speakers.
I wish I had heard the ATM-300R on a more efficient speaker to get a proper handle on its capabilities, but the fact that it drove an 87dB speaker was in itself a feat.
Definitely get the MQ-300, then someday upgrade to the Orangutans ;)
