Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5?


Dear forum members, I’m new here and would like some help. So i have a Mission QX-5 tower speaker currently connected by a Marantz PM8006 and A Topping D30 Pro DAC. I don’t completely dislike this combos sound but i can feel there is less grip of the amp on the speakers and it sounds a touch too bright so i want to get a new more powerful sweet sounding amp.

The Missions are slightly on the bright side so i would prefer a neutral/warm amp.
Music I listen to are EDM, Pop, Rock and Hip Hop.

I’m thinking of going for Musical Fidelity M3Si or the Parasound New Classic 200 integrated amp.

Budget is up to INR 1.30 lacs which is around $1800 USD.

Looking forward to your suggestions..

You guys who are saying my Marantz is superior might be right but it really has a hard time driving inefficient speakers like my Missions.

Anyway, Thanks everyone for their inputs so far. I'm gonna check the price of Vincent amp in my country and I'm also thinking of buying Hegel 160 as suggested by @jjss49

But both of these options are expensive so i might sell my Missions and get the JBL as recommended by @jasonbourne52 .
