Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702

I had a Musical Fidelity M8s-500s power amp with 702 S2’s and I didn’t like the pairing - too bright and not engaging.  I’m currently running a Coda no8 with the S2’s which I greatly prefer.  I’d switch the speakers before the amp.  

I use an Musical Fidelity ms8 preamp with Parasound Jc5

My vote would be the MX8i integrated .

+1, My vote is also with the MX8i integrated amp.  I own the Musical Fidelity M6si integrated amp and like it very much. 

They're both good choices, you have to listen to both.

McIntosh amplifiers pair nicely with the B&W speakers.
