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

I was going to suggest crossover upgrades first.

Oh! Did not know that. As I don't have tuned ears, it sounded great to me when paired with a Krell and a Concept 16.5 separately. Perhaps because I did not have much exposure to listening to different speakers side by side. By the way, how are Paradigm Signature S8?

Topping PA5 - $349! 110wpc@8ohms clipping. Why spend more?
