I'm considering buying a system made of
Marantz PM7200 apmlifier
Marantz CD6000KI cd player

KEQ Q5 loudspeakers.
or
BW DM603 S3

Does this sound as a good match ?

I have the Marantz and it's a chunky well built copper clad thing - I reckon
it sounds pretty good, a little easier on the ear than a NAD cdp I have,
with a degree more depth. Cheapo parts bin remote, nice display, daft
ergonomics, gets upset on occasion with cdrs, mechanically noisier than a
couple I've had, but not too bad. You should be able to get quite a
discount - think I paid 200 UKP about a year ago. I really don't think cdps
are the critical link tho - anything branded should see you through.

Marantz amp - can't comment, KEF Q range I quite like, and the B&Ws -
excellent vfm - but they do have a particular sound, bit too warm and mushy
for my tastes. Try to listen to the speakers in your home if you can - they
are the make/break.
