Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused.

If you want a slightly warm and space heater buy Gryphon amps

If you want neutral get Audionet

If you want class A and neutralish Get the new $36,500 Krell - KSA‐i400 - 400W Stereo Class A Power Amplifier w/ iBias that makes it not a space heater.

If you want to get made fun of buy McIntosh 

If you have more money than me get Boulder 

If you hate bass and just want highs get Simm moon

If you want class D get AGD or Mola Mola 

If you want to impress people buy an orchestra to play around the speakers 

@dave_b , You and I were cast in the same mold. Rock On! The right amplifier is the biggest bruiser you can afford. 

@mijostyn I have favored mostly Krell but have tried many, including tubes!  My Krell Class A integrated is overkill for my Cornwall IV’s but it gets’er done ✅

So, putting a great system together is a lot of work.

It used to be a lot of work, in 2023 it is only work if you want it to be. You can have virtually any product shipped to your door with a 30-60 day return policy if you like to mix and match.

You can get a "designer system" with matched components from end to end from many manufacturers such as Bryston, Harman, Sony, Anthem, etc.

You can get an active speaker that has everything (speaker, amp, preamp,streamer, app control, DSP, etc) together from manufacturers like KEF, Dynaudio, JBL, etc.

The old days you used to "shlep" from dealer to dealer. These days you just "surf" from online dealers, to forums like this, to youtube, and to reviews.

So, I suppose it could get even easier but it is actually ridiculous how easy it is already.

Buying the biggest amp you can afford is like saying you should buy the biggest engine you can afford for driving. Some engines are huge and do a great job with low end power like tractors and earth movers, other engines do well at going fast, like dragsters. Just because the engine is big doesn't mean its power band is suited for your needs. This is a close analogy to amps speakers and crossovers. The amp (engine) needs to match the crossover (transmission) to ultimately reach acceleration (driver output). Big amps are not the most efficient best sounding solutions. Look at live sound amps they are getting smaller and more efficient, if bigger was better concerts would use huge amps, they were heading in that direction but not anymore. 
Today matching amps to speakers/crossovers is rooted in personal feelings and corporate marketing, the definition of confusion.
