Stereo power amp for $10k


Please help choosing a good stereo power amp to put between Marantz AV7702 and Morel Sopran speakers (4 ohm, sensitivity 91.5dB, nominal power 250W).
Main criteria: good audio quality, warm & deep sound, listening mostly to instrumental music and vocal in low-mid volume.
So far shortlisted to three options, all around $10k:
1) Pass Labs - either X150.8 or X250.8
2) Krell Duo 175 or 300
3) Burmester 956 mkII

Which one of the three would you recommend? Anything better with similar spec and in the same price range?
Thanks.

I agree with those who posted that a $10K amp would be wasted in this setup. I would only consider an amp of that level if I had the Marantz AV7702 running through the Cinema or HT bypass of a top quality stereo preamplifier.
