Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers

I started with Peachtree Nova pre & Nova 220 amp class D, it’s ok but out of space on preamp. Have an Emotiva BasX TA2 I’m running now and I like it better than the Peachtree. These speakers have 98% efficiency and 4 ohm, 7 driver but still think I need around 200 watts into 8 ohms (??!!), but with that efficiency maybe not? I listen at moderately loud levels.
I don’t really want separates so looking at integrated amps and class A & A/B only. Not sure what the Mac MA 7200 is on output stage but like this one. Also looking at Galion & Advance Paris integrateds. A used MAC represents where my $$$ stops - around $5-6K.
What other class A & A/B integrateds with full smorgasbord of features should I be looking at and will pair well with the Legacy Focus speakers (Which I love!!)?

thank you - Kevin

csmgolf - Thanks for the input.  Wondering why the Legacy amps didn't make  your list?  Any thoughts on those?

soix - As long as the int amp was not harsh on highs & mids and bass was handled well (which both of the amps I have now work well with the bass drivers on these speakers).

@kevinshunt 

Legacy does not currently make an integrated amp. Your OP stated integrated amp only. The Impulse I mentioned is a discontinued Legacy integrated amp that was made for them by Coda. 

If I understood your OP, you own the older Focus and not the SE or XD. Is that correct?

@csmgolf I do want an integrated - true, my bad I thought they did but didn’t go through all their web pages to find out.

I am learning now about current vs watts, gonna have to do a little research on this on my own as electronics is not something I’ve dabbled in just yet. The CSiB seems interesting, wishing it has a digital input section.
