If you upped your budget a bit & are open to used gear, I'd check out this Hegel H300 integrated in good shape, asking $2.6k, though you could probably haggle that down to atleast $2.5k - https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis95de3-hegel-h300-solid-state. The B&W's like plenty of power.

I agree with Bodhi, a little power is nice for those speakers. If you can step up in budget to the MF M6si that would be great. M5si is a good second choice.

If you can find one used, the Rogue Audio Pharoah is awesome. I have a Rogue Class D power amp and it is phenomenal. In comparison, I have a pair of VTL MB-185 mono blocks and did an AB test. Other than power, I doubt you could tell the difference between the Rogue and the VTLs in Tetrode mode. In triode mode, the VTLs are a bit more nuanced and detailed but new they are 5x as expensive. For the money, the Rogue is extraordinary.

The Musical Fidelity amplifiers are excellent; great sound at low prices.
