Integrated Amplifier for the PSB Synchrony One B (bookshelf)

Besides the NAD which Integrated Amplifier would sound good (better, more open and detailed) with the PSB Synchrony One B bookshelf speakers.
Also, which stands height I should go with since the mid/bass is on the top.
I have Sound Anchor stands (25") and in my sitting position my ears are in the level with the mid/bass cones
so 26" or 27" would make sense but I am just concern about the bass quality if I place the speakers higher.
Thank you in advance on your opinions.

parasound halo integrated.  just the right amount of smoothness to match with the PSB's occasionally bright nature.  
follow PSB's recommendation for speaker positioning and stand height.

Since you mentioned Belles Aria.
It is very strange from the manufacturer to not to publish specifications, only the power.

Specs are like statistics , you can make they say what you want them to say .

David Belles is as respected as anyone in audio business , his amps are excellent and have always been . One of top designers alive and dead honest .
Many of the older designers don’t, Frank Van Alstine for starters.

There are many great integrated amplifiers. 

However, the poster never mentioned:

1: Price range?

2: is he open to tubes?

3: Does he want an integrated amp with a built in dac or streamer?

As per NAD the new NAD integrated amps are way different in sound and features then their older models.
