Advice for a choice


hello to all dear ones.
I am going to buy a hi-fi system. I am quite determined about the speakers (Dali Oberon 7) and the cd streamer player (Marantz nd8600). As for the amplifier, I am undecided between Marantz pm8006 (but I don't need a turntable) and Cambridge cxa81. I ask you for an opinion about these components. Tell me if there is an equally valid amplifier in that price range. I thank those who want to express their opinion.
Best wishes

Be aware that after a merger with Denon, both Marantz and Denon were subsequently purchased by Sound United. I'm always concerned after mergers and acquisitions like these that cheaper components will be used by the new parent company to increase profits. If I were going to buy an integrated amp, I'd look no further than Yamaha. They are a private company, use high quality components, and have the best reliability ratings of any amp manufacturer. Also, if you ever decide to have both a home theater system and a music listening system, I'd go for at least a 7 channel amp like this one:  https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/av_receivers_amps/rx-a1080_u/index.html
