Integrated Amplifier for Focal Sopra 3

I have Focal Sopra 3s.  I've read a lot in this Forum about how hard it is to drive Focal Sopra 3s.  I'm considering moving from a PS Audio BHK Preamp and BHK 300 Monoblocks to an integrated amplifier (space is a consideration).  I am considering a Luxman L-509x, a Luxman L-590AXII and a Bel Canto Black EX.  Any thoughts?  I think I need a lot of power/current to drive these speakers.

Several used Luxman 509x integrated amps show up here.  Good for you, puzzling as this is a really good amp.  Now about $7,500 - 8,200 range.

My wife's system runs ATC 20 passives with this amp and it drives them hard.  Those speakers present a really difficult sealed cabinet load and the amp controls them well with great slam.  Hope that helps.  Have a fun journey.
