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,

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.
"...Ok, let’s add this russ99 https://www.musicalfidelity.com/products/m8series/m8xi..."

Great choice, and something that will last a lifetime. Great sound with any loudspeaker. 
The triangles are very clean and need a warmer amp
No Sim or anthem or musical fidelity
Aesthithiix is a hybrid so that is
 good
