See I have a big concern now not about the sound quality, but if my apartment can handle the 5 IRD's in terms of power. I've more or less cancelled out the Denon and am now considering either the 5 IRD's or the Rotel RMB-1075 5 channel amp in conjunction with the Rotel 1066 pre/pro.

Jason, whatever amp you decide to get, it isn't in control, you are. Your speakers use whatever power they need at the moment for the volume level you've set, which is about 1 watt most of the time, with maybe 100 watts or so momentarily on peaks. So, the amps you're considering have more maximum power capability then you'd probably ever need in an apartment, but there's nothing about the apartment "handling" the power, it just wouldn't be used. If in the future you were in a much larger listening room and playing at louder levels, then more of that power would be used.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
