Integrated amp for Synchrony Ones

I auditioned and purchased a pair of Synchrony Ones and am now looking for a well matched integrated amp. I'm on the fence between going with a somewhat powerful tube amp (thinking Rogue Cronus Magnum) or a more powerful SS integrated like a Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 or Plinius Hautonga. My budget tops out around $3k and I'm unable to audition anything so I'm trying to make as educated a decision as I can without actually listening to the amps.
If you have experience with the Synchrony Ones please offer your thoughts on appropriate amplification.

Knowing these speakers, I would think that 4ohm:245W,
2ohm:435W is a good match.

Also reviewers say the amp is on the smooth side of things

That's good. I should have mentioned that you don't want an amp that is forward with extended highs. A smooth sounding amp should produce some natural sonics with these spkrs.

Congrats! I'm slightly jealous, which is a good thing in your case. I think you'll be happy with it. Class makes very solid gear. It's going to feel like a more substantial (built like a tank), higher end piece compared to the others mentioned. Do get back with us once you get it up and running. Combined with your Synchronies, you'll have a very nice rig. Well done!

It sounds like a very good match to me, one I would consider myself.
