Your speakers may decide which amp is best for you. I bought a
Ref 30, also use a SACD player (Sony 9000es) and am pretty much
decided on a Classe CAV-75 amplifier as my Audio Physic Tempos
are 90db efficient and run at 4 ohms.

I did hear the 7250 and was pretty impressed with its sound in a
dealer showroom with some B&W speakers--I just dont need that much
power and was willing to trade off the Classe's sound for lower
power.

Always,
