suggestions? Coda CSIB or Musical Fidelity M8xi?

seeking a high powered integrated for my Dynaudio Special 40's

currently on a Rega Aethos which I feel is just a tad underpowered but can't say for sure until I get something with more grunt

really also want a high watt high current powerhouse that I can save for future use as required with pending speaker purchases

the two amps in question are at the limits of my budget

thanks in advance

volume and clunky remote is my Rega, lol

that's been a known issue with these units unit though and sucks but not a deal breaker

I also have my eye on some contour 60i's which I'm not sure the rega can drive (higher sensitivity than my 40's but 4ohm vs the 6ohm rating on the 40's

and Rega does not publish any 4 ohm specs

quick update

went with a Hegel 390 and the bass control is exactly what I was seeking, the bass from these Dyns using a high power amp is exceptional

however

the Rega just crushes it in terms of musicality in my setup

I was oping for a 5k-ish solution and now suspect I may need to get closer to 10k for high power and musicality
