Help on which amp to use ( Upgrading stock speakers)

After listening to my current set-up (Stock Bose Speakers + Pioneer AVIC-F90BT + 8" Sub driven by aftermarket amp), I found the Bose Mids/Tweets to be lacking ( I know no surprise there)- so I just recently acquired a set of Morel Elates 6 ( 2 way) and currently have (in possession) these two amps to choose from. Which would be best to drive the Elates cleanly (make them sing)? Thanks for your thoughts!

Nakamichi PA 304:

4 x 45W @ 4 ohms
2 x 30W + 1 x 90 @ 4 ohms stereo + bridge
2 x 90W @ 4 ohms bridge
THD: 0.005%
S/N: 110dB
Fuse: 30A

Linear Power 1502IQ:

75 X2 @ 4 Ohm 12.5V (0.050% THD)
142.5 X 2 @ 2 Ohm 12.5
285 X 1 @ 4 Ohm 12.5V
550 Watt Max OutPut
S/N: 95dB
Fuse: 25A

Mother is infamous around these parts
I have not tried those amps although I almost got the Nakamichi HU. I would place and wire the speakers then just connect the amps one at a time to see which one produces the sound you like best.

Nakamichi seem to be a no brainer...better power, distortion and signal/noise ratio...
