Best power amp for Quad 63

I have read a few discussions about powering the 63s but I am sure that in 2022 there are more options.

Currently I am using an upgraded Conrad Johnson PV11 and a lp70 power amp.  This combination is very good but a little too warm for me. I would like to hear more upper partials (frequencies) and bottom punch.

I am partial to Class A SS amps and looking at the used market.  Probably need to stay under 3K.because I will need to sell my lp70.  I am looking at the following pieces:

SPECTRAL DMA 90

MARK LEVINSON ML2, 23, or 432

KRELL KAV 250S

Plinius 

Esoteric F-03A 

Accuphase E- 530

Thanks in advance.

You want more HIGHS with Quad's???

Well, my advice is a Phase Linear 700 from the old days.  It is as shrill as they get, and with the shrillness of the Quad's, you should be happy.

If you are my age, over 70, your high frequency hearing may be slightly less than it used to be...maybe get it checked?

Cheers!
