SF Olympica llls

Any chance the McIntosh MA5200 can satisfactorily drive these speakers? Any integrated amp recommendation in the $3000 to $5000 range would be welcomed. New or used.

As a Mac proudly owner stuff I don’t agree with audiotroy comment ,Mac has powerful & musical amplification that can drive properly any speakers on earth.

I have no wish to change it at the near future.
