Can a solid state integrated amp pair well with Focal 1038Be?

Get a high biased into class-A solid state integrated, a used Pass Laboratories INT-60, or used Gryphon Diablo 120 or Parasound Halo Hint or Hint6 integrated
They’ll keep the Focals sweet in the upper mids /highs yet give bass control and dynamics that the Prima Luna could only dream of doing.

mid to higher hegel luxman or even upper naim should work well too

smooth natural solid state won’t excite the tweeter too much

McIntosh should tame the tweeter as well.
Warm the whole sound spectrum.

Some of the Class A amps mentioned are very good I had the ATC SIA2 for a while and it is a very good amp. Depending on the amount of inputs you need look into the Digital Amplifier Companies (DAC) offerings. I'm currently using the 2 Cherry with their DAC DAC2 HSV (the combo fits in your budget) on my Charney Audio horns with superb results. Very smooth non-fatiguing detail in the highs, engaging mids, and deep controlled bass.  A very well balanced presentation. DAC offers a 30 day return policy, so you can do an in home demo and only be out the shipping both ways.

Hope you find what your searching for.
