Tried a Pass Labs X260.8 and thought it sounded ok but not good enough to change my Audia Flight combo.
McIntosh 1.25kw with the Ref 6 was a nice combo, very dynamic but maybe not the last word in resolution.
Bryston monos is a good suggestion too. How does that match up? Is it a more of lively sound for rock music?
Boulder is the one I though might be a good match but again never heard that combo with the reference series.
I’m coming from B&W 800D3 and they were more lively and brighter that ended up being too much of a good thing but do miss that excitement sometimes that the SF doesn’t have.
This may give you at least some idea on the Bryston/Sonus Faber combination. It offered a very good balance I thought.

The speakers are the Elipsa and the Bryston amps were not the newer "cubed/3" version but this may give you an idea. https://youtu.be/a3i_DETaCg0

I have a lot of experience with different amps and Sonus Faber Reference Series.

My favorites:
Gryphon
Dan d'Agostino
Krell (before EVO)
Audio Research
Burmester

A lot of power is good for Sonus faber Reference Series.

D’agostino and Sonus is a pretty special combo.

A bit late to the party here, but if memory serves; the Aida's and Audio Research room at RMAF 2018 won best sound I think. I visited that room at least 4 times over that long weekend and I have to say the sound was quite captivating. And the OP already owns a Ref 6.
