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

I have the JBL 4367 and i've paired them with a Mcintosh Ma9000 and Ma6600 and while it sounded good it didn't sound amazing - a bit thin. I then powered them with, and bear with me, A schiit Freya+ preamp (I was skeptical at first) and a Magnus Audio ma400... it was MAGIC, seriously powerful and robust. you can get the schiit Frey+ for 800 and the Magnus Audio ma400 for 4500 through JM sound. Lastly I had it hooked up to an Audio Research VSi75 (integrated), build quality feels like scat BUT the sound was SUPERB. Best combo Ive found and actually listened to. Those mids were sooooo nice. There is a guy on Audiogon selling one new in the box for 4300. WELL worth it. Hope this helps.
