Sold my Linn Klimax Solo, now I wanted an Integrated

Hi All
Have my Linn Klimax preamp up for sale too with the intention of downsizing and taking a step up. The Linn never really worked well with my speakers (Focal )
Looking at Diablo 300 by Gryphon and Vitus . Any others I should consider? Going to buy used so demoing them wont be easy
I want something thats good with rock and metal music, I don't care for classical. I also have an intention of upgrading the speakers at some stage and have always enjoyed the Rockport Atria/Avior sound so an amplifier that wont cause me problems moving to something similiar to those.
I heard the Vitus had issues with some types of speakers which concerned me.
Thanks

I’ve got the older 927 BE, which are similiar to the Utopia Diva.
I had a listen to the Naim electronics with both the Focal Utopia Scala EVO and was very impressed. It was the mid line Naim stuff but I wanted to go a touch up from the Naim
I unfortunately cant go Naim because im keeping my Linn Klimax DS Katalyst streamer and do not like the proprietary connections with Naim

The new Mola Mola Kula integrated amp. Has one of the best DACs inside it. It is a shame that they did not use a Purifi amp model (pretty sure they did not). Which is shocking since Bruno was associated with Mola Mola (in the past) and now Purifi. It is expensive but I bet it is a killer integrated. That internal DAC + Purifi amp module = first choice to demo.
