Salk speakers Integrated Amp suggestion......


I've been intrigued by Salk speakers for a while. It seems they receive high accolades from owners and non-owners alike and I'm thinking of putting in an order in for the SS 8's or SS 9.5's. They have an efficiency rating of 86/87.
My question is what Integrated Amp would pair well with the Salk's? I've heard them with the Wells Majestic at Axpona a couple of years ago, and although nice, it didn't blow me away. My budget would probably top out around $10k, give or take. I've been reading other threads and see Audio by Van Alstine mentioned, but no Integrateds.
Do I need a lot of power? I've been reading/looking at Pass, Hegel, Mac, ML & Aesthetixs Mimas to name a few. Prefer SS since I've never dealt with tubes, but am not adverse them or a hybrid. There are so many to choose from but I want something with synergy to the Salk's. Any recommendations?
Thanks.

+1 about calling Jim.  I have the Exotica monitors @92db with a Pass XA-25.  When I conversed with him via email while researching, he confirmed my hopes that the monitors would be a good match with the amp.

Love my Salk speakers.
