Amp for Focal Diablo Utopia Colour Evo


Good morning all.  I have recently acquired a pair of Focal Diablo Utopia stand mounts and thinking it's about time to upgrade the system and would like to seek some advice from everyone here as I'm quite new to hi fi.
After doing a ton of research online, I'm considering:
1. PS Audio BHK pre and either 250 stereo or 300 mono
2. Benchmark LA4 and AHB2
3. Jeff Rowland Capri and 535
Do you think these would work with the speakers?  Which one would be best?  Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help!

I’m a big fan of JRDG, owned several of their products over the years but unless they’ve changed something the 535 class D amp is getting pretty long in the tooth technology wise - I had the same Pascal modules in the Continuum integrated and it just was sort of a boring amp - I tried Primaluna separates against it with both the Vandersteen Treo and Magico A3 and in both cases I found the JRDG much less favorable sounding.  Very precise and good in its own way, but it can be sterile.  Plus there’s been a lot of new Class D tech coming out.
