Integrated Amp Choices


From numerous visits to audio stores in the BIG city 2 hours south of my place, and after listening to a couple of dozen speakers (up to $18,000) both passive and active. Our simple ears have narrowed it down to these 2 speakers (so far):
KEF R11s - https://us.kef.com/r11.html and Triangle AustraleEZs - https://www.trianglehifi.com/en/produit/hifi-floor-standing-speaker-ez-australe/ These 2 sound the best to both my wife, offer good value and both very close to each other in price.

Here are a few integrated amps (in around the $5K range) that I am considering and I was hoping the community can give their votes to which would compliment the speakers of choice (so far) the best?

Onboard DAC is a big consideration too, so hoping for your further comments on DAC sections as well.

Prefer new or demo over used.

Thanks,

340ix by Simaudio. Please go listen to one. They are simply awesome the folks at Simaudio build wonderful gear and is hard to beat. 
I am selling my 340ix as I just ordered the 600 v2. Will be here in 2 weeks. 
Have to check out Aesthetix MIMAS you can add onboard Dac , phono and high pass filter
By specs the Triangles are the choice. The Sugden will make them sing but the are extremely rare used.
It’s head and shoulders above the crowd.
Either that or tudes with a Raven.
tomstruck, no but I’ll check it out.

fuzztone - I was the thinking the same thing.
