Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Homage?


I recently purchased a pair of Amati's to replace B&W N802s . I am currently driving them with a Krell FPB300c stereo amp. Front-end is Levinson 390S and 380S.
While I like the sound generally, I'm somewhat dissapointed in soundstaging and imaging compared to the B&W's. Have other found a better amp to match with the Amati's?

Amatis have a difficult impedance curve, so they need more power than their high sensitivity might imply

Although Krells have crystalline highs and fabulous bass, many suggest the midrange musicality of Amatis favour tubes

I found the right compromise in the new Levinson 432. Not the same bass slam as a Krell, silkier treble a matter of taste, but the delicacy and body around the midrange complement Amatis well
