The KSA-200S would be my choice. But I could live with the KSA 100 or Audio Research in the short term. I say this from experience and based on the type of music I prefer (Jazz/Electronic with some vocals sprinkled in) which is very fast and dynamic.
Great monitors IMO sound better with amps that provide ample current capacity and increased headroom. The result is both more musical and more satisfying in the longer term.
My previous monitors (Wharfedale Diamond, Monitor Audio, Dali, Vienna Acoustics and Totem) were paired with different tube and solid state amps all with higher current or Class-A output.
Your sound will be more relaxed and confident. Complex passages in songs midrange and bass will have more dynamics and better soundstage.
