Cytocyle is right on. No point of spending money on the amp until your room is treated. Consider the fact that in an untreated room, the difference between the 2 amplifiers may not even worth 2% of the price difference. If I were you, I'd consider something to treat the room first. Check out 8th nerve line of room treatments. They make the panels that are more or less WAF-friendly, not bulky and pretty affordable and functional.
BTW, you may get some warmth when the room's treated...you'll hear deeper into the music and it won't sound as bright.
