Integrated amp for Proac D2

My first post here.  I have some Proac D2s with the dome tweeter.  I use an old NAIM Nait XS that I bought used many years ago to drive the speakers.  I like the amp, but I am ready for something new.  I know the topic of different Proac speakers and amps has been visited many times, but I would appreciate your input on a good match for my speakers.  To start with, any thought on the new Cyrus integrated amps?  The Marantz Model 30?  I have a decent budget for the new amp - $2,5000 up to $5,000.  Lower end is better, at least that is what my wife thinks.  Thanks for your help.

What improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you?  Also, where are you located?

proac response series (and their successors including the d-series) are very well known to be highly synergistic with audio research tube amps, so you may want to try an arc integrated model, of which there are several out there used, older ones are well depreciated now (though still by no means inexpensive) and newer ones are very very good but pricey

Maybe looking for a little more energy and maybe more brightness.  I live in Texas

Hegel is worth a look. Nicely detailed but not overly bright.  Best of luck.
