Integrated amp recommendation for Focal 1038


Hello, I left the hobby for a bit and just got back into due to a local listing for some Focal 1038 BE II speakers I couldn't pass up. I purchased the speakers and am now looking for a recommendation for an integrated amplifier. I will be hooking them up to a rebuilt Technics SP 10 mkii TT mounted with a Ortofon quintet black cartridge and a pass labs xono phono. I listen to mainly classic rock vinyl and my room is pretty large, the speakers will be more towards the middle of the room and pretty far from the walls. I do not listen at really loud volume levels. Ideally I would like a Pass Labs XP 20 hooked to a Pass Labs amplifier like an xa30.5 but with just purchasing speakers cannot get that at the moment. Any suggestions in the $2500 - 3500 range? I am drawn to Pass Labs typically for the deep tight bass and good imaging. Currently considering a Pass Labs int-30A, Bryston B135 sst2, maybe a Cary integrated like the SLI 80 or 100? I've never really ventured into tubes before though.

Thanks

Suggestion: find a local dealer you can trust, ideally one with good return and upgrade policies, then pick from the brands they carry in your price range. If that is not feasible in your area, stick with a few brands that get consistently good reviews in this forum (or another you trust) or in reviews by major publications. Then choose based on price, features, warranty, service and support. Possibilities (in addition to the ones mentioned above):  Benchmark, First Watt, Mytek, PS Audio (used), Schiit.

I have the Benchmark AHB2. 100W, should be plenty for your speakers. I don't know why it might "pair" better or worse with them than any of the above suggestions (unless maybe you prefer a  more veiled/colored/"enhanced" sound). Glowing reviews, excellent test measurements, made in USA, 5 year warranty (if you register it), good service/support. Good built-in fault/safety protection.  Characterized as "sonically neutral and transparent".  Only accepts balanced inputs.  $2999 direct from Benchmark.

Easy to drive, very efficient, but will take all the power you can feed them. 

I first paired them with the Parasound A21 and was extremely happy.

Nobody mentioned the Rogue Audio Pharaoh. With a tube preamp, MC gain, and ample SS power, that would be an excellent fit for the OP. 
I have these speakers paired with a Raven audio nighthawk and love it. Think these speakers go well with tube amps
