Integrated advice for B&W 705's


I"m new getting into the HiFi wold and just starting to build my first system. 
I recently picked up some original series B&W 705 stand mounts (from 2004) and am powering them with a Marantz PM6004 integrated amp however I don't think it's a good fit with the speaker.  Just not quite as musical as I was expecting and the high end might be a little harsh (although very clear).  
Does anyone have any experience/advice for a good Integrated Amp to pair with these speakers? 
My budget is in the $1k range but maybe could stretch it a little for the right component and majority of listening is on vinyl. Thanks!

Many love B&W speakers. I am not familiar with the model that you have, but any B&W that I have heard always sounded too bright for my taste. I doubt that replacing your amp will change the character of that speaker!
