Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos

First ever post here. I have a peachtree nova 150 integrated amp, KEF LS50 metas, a Bluesound node, a vintage technics turntable and a schiit mani phono preamp. I am making the move to a separate amp and preamp. I have a preamp (a rogue rp-1) on order and I’m looking for an amp. I think I have it narrowed down to a Benchmark AHB2, a Bob Carver Crimson 275 or a Rogue Atlas Magnum 2. would appreciate any input the group might have or any alternate suggestions.

Are you using a sub or pair of subs with those nice but small and inefficient speakers?

I do not see pre-out/main in on the rogue rp-1 preamp on order. That is what you would want to go out to a stereo pair of self-powered subs, send the bass load away from both your amp and your KEFs.

then, I would go with the Carver, stick with tubes to drive the KEFs, subs drive themselves.
