Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns

Hello ~
I was wondering if anybody had any firsthand experience with Klipschorns (1976) and any of these Integrated Amps/Amps? Any feedback and/or caution would really be appreciated. I am putting together a 2 Channel system and have my speakers, now looking for the rest.
        1. Hegel H390
        2. Mac MA352 
        3. Primaluna Evo 400 
        4. Levinson #585 
        5. Benchmark AHB2/DAC3. 
My primary listening would be through a Music Streamer (Bluesound 2i or Lumen D2) and Tidal. I listen to all types of music so I need something that can hang. 
My room is 16 x 25 with 9 foot ceilings.

I had a pair of the old ones, 20 years ago

None of those amps power is needed, you can almost get ear spitting levels by rubbing to sticks together to power Klipschorns.

Klipschorns are in your face speakers with the wrong amp, suggest a triode push pull tube amp with tight bass and a laid back top end.
Quicksilver 6C33C amps come to mind.

Or maybe even better still a Class-A solid state like Pass Labs Class-A XA30.5 or XA30.8
