Help with integrated amp purchase

I am in market for integrated amp and need help. I am using and Onkyo cd as a transport thru a Monarchy Audio Dac driving a pair of B&W 804n's. There a lot to choose from in my price range. My music taste are mostly rock and am looking for a lively amp not to laid back. I would prefer to have balanced input but not a must. Does any have a thoughts on these amps driving my speakers for my taste:
Cambridge Audio 840a V2
Nad m22
Sim Audio I3 or I5
Primare I-30
Krell 400xi
Plinius 9100

Thanks for your help

I figure top end around $2500 I think I can find most of these used for around 2k except for Cambridge which is new at $1500.

Thanks Joey54 Thats kinda what I thought with the High current and Balanced inputs looks like a good match just haven't heard. The B&W's can be hard to drive at times
