Amplifier for Bowers 805 d3 Recommendations

Hello Friends of the forum, how are you?
I want to update my amplifier
I mainly listen to Vinyl, CD and Tidal By USB, Jazz, Pop, Classic
I am writing to you from Argentina to ask you about these three amplifiers that I could buy for my budget
It would be used to drive Bowers 805 D3 speakers.
1- Mcintosh MA 5300
2- Hegel 390
3-Parasound Halo Hint 6
I would like to hear user opinions of these amplifiers
Thank you very much in advance
Gustavo

speakers are 88 sensitivity, McIntosh is the lowest power but probably enough

you might have separate phono, but thinking for the future, just considering phono, hegel has none, McIntosh has 1 MM in; Parasound has a switchable input, either MM, MCHO, or MCLO. 

remote features?
I always want remote volume, and remote balance.

Hello, thank you for your answer, very good your apprehensions.
also the 5300 does not have autoformers.
What is your opinion of the Naim Nova? they spoke to me very well about this amp
