Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino

What are the recommended amplifiers for Sonus Faber Serafino. I am looking for something extremely warm and my listening is more on the side of classical, jazz, lots of vocal and world music. 

I am currently using Martin Logan speakers with marantz DAC and Primaluna Prologue premium as the amplifier. I am looking for a similar sound with better sound stage and detail, that's the reason i am going with Sonus Faber Serafino. I am inclined towards McIntosh MC352 or Primaluna separates. 

Please suggest.

Thanks George for the quick response. Gryphon seems to be on the higher side. Will McIntosh do a good job? I am thinking one of the following options, may work. Will McIntosh be too bright?

MA8900 Integrated
MA462 Power Amp and buy a good DAC
MA352 Hybrid (Tube PreAmp and SS Amp)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Appreciate everyone's opinion and knowledge. I hope, i did not start a debate here. I am sorry if i am responsible for the confusion here.

I have been listening to music for more than 2 decades and started using professional audio equipments only since 2017. I am happy with the music quality i am getting in my existing system (Marantz + PrimaLuna Prologue + Martin Logan), placed in a small room.

We moved to a new home few months back and the new speakers (SF Serafino) will be kept in the living room (40 ft long and 20 ft wide) (larger room). The living room interiors have been chosen with the acoustics in mind.

My music preference is Jazz and Classical on the western and tons of Indian classical (variety of instruments and vocals).

An example for my preferred music would be (sorry for posting the songs, if that is not required / inappropriate)

I would like to get the best out of SF Serafino for the music i listen to.

Thanks again...
