Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system

While waiting for a new speaker delivery, I have some time to start looking for a SS integrated amplifier, and hoping for some recommendations.

The speaker to pair with is Ascend Acoustics Sierra Tower with RAAL tweeter option that is around 91dB efficient, and the room size is 12x18x8.  I mostly listen to classical, jazz, female vocal, and the listening level normally is around 85dB, occasionally go up to 90dB.

I originally was looking for class-A integrated amplifier, but now would like to open the possibility to class-A/B as well to see what will be a good match for this new system I am putting together.

TIA

Hi
hard to select these days 
I just changed from 50 yrs of separates to
peachTree nova 150 and am v v v pleased.
no excessive heat since it’s class D!
not my first class D system!
the customer service is excellent as well!
the unit has great sound not bright and can listen for hours! Great sound stage
clean bass too
good luck

All this gear is great but room acoustics will make or break any system. I have owned 
Boulder
Belles
Dynaco
Mcintosh
Peachtree
Arcam

and I would suggest consider service too
my latest experience I was with Peachtree and service is excellent 
Any of the above combos will wott r k v well in a good room

currently I am using a Peachtree nova 150
and it’s excellent 

have fun
