Quad 606 Mk II vs Quad 303 w/ Harbeth Monitor 30....discuss/opinions?

I have a pair of Harbeth Monitor 30 in my living room system. There are a pair of Spendor s3/5 in a second system in another room that I am going to connect to an amplifier with in-wall wiring and use a Bryston speaker selector switch box to go back and forth between the two pairs of speakers. I have an opportunity to purchase either a stock Quad 606 Mk II or a refurbished/re-capped Quad 303. My interest is in a warm, smooth, natural, dark, lush, robust, full, romantic sound that is completely free of grain, harshness, hardness, and added "detail" in the high frequencies. I will be using either of these in conjunction with a deHavilland Ultraverve tube preamp. Which of these amplifiers would be better suited for this application and why? Thank you in advance for your advice or opinions!
