Warm sounding amp to a mixer

Hi there, I'm looking for a warm sounding amp to connect to my Bozak mixer.
The mixer throws off mids and highs when playing digital (very warm to vinyl).

Thoughts on using tube/solid state power amp or maybe getting an integrated amp?

Appreciate your help here.

Thanks!

If @geph0007 sells his B&K's and gets the Anthem, then I would suggest you give him a shout about them.

Well, it would be funky, but also kind of a good mix is a used Yamaha Pro Natural Sound P series amp from the 80's?

You can find them from around 45 watts to 500/ch.

Best,

There are different opinions about the B&K EX 4420 some say the sound is very warm others are very critical. Confused.

Do you think an integrated amp will help coloring the sound? the mixer has no chips, only transistors and direct delivery.

Thanks!

When I had my B&K EX4420, I did think it was slightly on the warmish side of neutral.  Adding the PT-3II, it became even warmer.

I hear the EX4420 sound sweet but a friend of who owns an older less powerful version says that there's some mechanical transformer noise that you can hear even when it's not connected to speakers or source. 
Did you experience it with your EX4420?
