Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?

Hi, I am trying to match my tekton lore s speakers (95 efficient) to a small integrated amp. I don't mind if it has a dac or not, I can add one later. For powering the lores in a large room, what would be best? I like warmth and strong bass. I cannot audition as I live abroad and will have to order them. I am looking at the red wine 15, red wine 30, the wyred mint and the bell canto 300i or 5c3i. I like the idea of the red wine but have concerns about bass, the battery and power. Budget is 1500 or so, used okay. Thank you for any ideas.

I have heard the Red Wine 15 in two different systems and was very disapointed. The amp has no dynamics or trancient attack at all. Very boring to say the least.
The very opposite of the reason in owning the Lore s speaker. They do have a 30 day trial, so you can try one out if you want.

Hi Vinnie, I agree with you 100%.
I've read so many positive reviews and post about the 15.
It must have been a synergy mismatch in my system.
I should have put that in my post.
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive my blunt statement.
