Advice for a choice

hello to all dear ones.
I am going to buy a hi-fi system. I am quite determined about the speakers (Dali Oberon 7) and the cd streamer player (Marantz nd8600). As for the amplifier, I am undecided between Marantz pm8006 (but I don't need a turntable) and Cambridge cxa81. I ask you for an opinion about these components. Tell me if there is an equally valid amplifier in that price range. I thank those who want to express their opinion.
Best wishes

Personally I’d choose a used Hegel H160 over either, but not knowing anything about your tastes and priorities are for sound reproduction and system performance it’s not possible to make an informed or even useful recommendation.

Thank you for expressing your opinion. I also think the important thing is that the amplifier sounds good and performs well. I wish at least that it had DAC and Bluetooth. As for musical tastes, I listen mainly to classical music, American rock music from the 60s and 70s and finally I love Springsteen. I listen to this music on CD, mp3, flac and Spotify. I hope that with this additional information I can have more specific suggestions. Thank you

Since you have chosen the Marantz 8600 just go with the 8006 integrated amp. They are both excellent! No need to fret neurotically about amplifier choices! Most present day gear is so close sonically that it's a matter of "six of one versus a half-dozen of the other". Honestly!

Here you go: Marantz 8006 CD/streamer/DAC for $969.95 (new) + free shipping. EBay seller "wholesalevip13" in Portland, Oregon. Don't pay more! Maybe they have the Marantz integrated amp also at a discounted price! Check it out!
