Pl advise on Amp for listening to AOR on Klipsch RF7 Mk II via a custom built R2R NOS DAC

Looking for tight (controlled) bass, pronounced mid-range and soft high (highs should not be shrill).
Options (shortlisted) are:
Burmester 036
Classé CA-2300
Gryphon Diablo 120
Hagel H390
Krell KAV 2250
Mark Levinson 23
Pass Labs 250.8
Bryston 4B
Any other recommendation?

Thank you.
Mark

I have no clue what AOR is?

Adult Oriented Rock also called Melodic Hard Rock e.g., Andy Rock, Find Me, Free Spirit, Lionville, Raintimes, White Widdow (spelt with an additional 'd'), etc.

Actually in the radio biz, it was called Album Oriented Rock because one track could be 23 minutes such as Pink Floyd Echoes.

I don't want to criticize your speaker choice but have you seen this video?

I was going to suggest crossover upgrades first.
