Amplifier Recommendation for Spendor D9.2 Speakers

Currently driving them with a McIntosh MC275 VI and wondering especially if solid state might do a better job.  Can anyone share their satisfying amplifier experiences with Spendor D9.2's?  What works best for you and why?  I listen to a wide variety of music so hard to pinpoint where I'd like to concentrate in that regard.  Open to mono and stereo amps up to $12K total, and open to pre-owned.

I'll be curious, too, to hear reports. Spendor's literature indicates that this speaker has an impedance of 8 ohms (min 4.6) with recommended amplifier power of 25-250 watts. That leaves the field wide open!

SPENDOR - EXPOSURE -VAN DEN HUL

Ive seen this particular combination featured at a couple of audio expos. The following article also mirrored this setup.

curiously I asked the exhibitor why the VDH cables, when the majority were using either NORDOST Valhalla or CARDAS Clear. His take was that it was their bespoke and strongly preferred system synergy cable loom choice they found to best perform with the bespoke sonic signatures of the EXPOSURE amp and SPENDOR speakers paired together.

FWIW ,,, …. sounded fine to me,…
