Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup?


Hi! I am planning to buy a JBL 4367 and just wondering about which amp would you choose? I am looking for details, good soundtage. I listen to various genres, lotst of orchestra, jazz, classic rock etc

My first pick would be a Kinki Studio EX M1 and rather spend a bit more on cables.
2nd, used Kinki EX P-7 + Kinki monoblocks.
3rd, used Hegel H360 or any other Hegel?
4rd, used MBL C51 -hardest to find and the most expensive, but I would go for it, if it would offer significant improvement above the others.
or something else in this price range?

Rest of the system : Ikeda 9TT, VPI Classic, Gold Note PH10 + PSU10

Since the JBL 4367 is not a very popular large speakers( compare to B&W, Wilson Audio, Focal,....), you won’t get as many  first hand advices. I am one of the few who own the JBL 4367 and am using a Mcintosh MAC7200 integrated (200Watt/Channel   SS amp). It’s very warm and musical. But not the quickest and most analytical amp on the market. My listening sessions are usually 2-3 hours nonstop daily and on lower volumes, I prefer this warm and polite amp. 
     I picked Mcintosh simply because when I search JBL 4367 on YouTube, it’s mostly powered by either Mark Levinson or Mcintosh on high end audio shows. If the manufacturers uses Those two amps, they must be good matches . Don’t you agree? But if you have the luxury to try out different amps before you buy go for it .
I paid $4250 for my used Mcintosh MAC7200 including shipping. Not too far from 4000 euros
