Looking for advice re: amps for Dynaudio Contour 20i

Hello all. This might be a huge mistake (I don't want to start an internet war), but I find reviews to be less than perfect. Can anyone who actually has Dynaudio Contour 20s or 20is offer any advice on a good amp to pair with them? My budget is $5-$6k. My primary concern is imaging, I am current using a Marantz Model 30 and SACD 30n.

I 2nd an Octave integrated. Heard one in the C60 and it was really good. on paper probably shouldn’t work that well but sounds fantastic.

I have personally used a Cayin A100T on a pair of Focus 140 and it was not very good sounded really bland. An Odyssey Stratos plus in the same speakers was really good. 

Also have had a Lyngdorf 2170 on some C20s and it ran out of gas. It was fantastic on more efficient speakers.
