Amplifier Recommendation for Spendor D9.2 Speakers

Currently driving them with a McIntosh MC275 VI and wondering especially if solid state might do a better job.  Can anyone share their satisfying amplifier experiences with Spendor D9.2's?  What works best for you and why?  I listen to a wide variety of music so hard to pinpoint where I'd like to concentrate in that regard.  Open to mono and stereo amps up to $12K total, and open to pre-owned.

if your room is large your mac may not be enough to energize the spendors. if your room is medium sized you can tube roll the small signal tubes and greatly improve the amps transparency and refinement.

amp choice also depends on your preamp.

my spendor d7.2 like your 9.2s thrive on tube amps and also class A solid state.

The rogue audio m 180 dark mono blocks have a smooth, powerful and neutral tube sound that merges well with the Spendors.

I currently have a Pass Labs Class A xa30.8 and it does very well too but not as refined as the Rogue Tube amps.
