Need power amp recommendations for system

Greetings. This is only my second post here.  Have read a ton and enjoyed it.  I'm assembling two systems at roughly the same time.  I'm down to amplification for the main system.  Here's the components I have:

GoldenEar Triton Reference loudspeakers
PS Audio BHK preamp
PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player
VPI Prime Signature TT with Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC cart
Manley Labs Chinook SE MKII phono stage

Should I just finish it out with either the BHK 250 or the 300 monoblocks and have a PSA stack, or would you go a different direction?  I have access to Rogue Apollo Darks at a very good price and I am open to other suggestions.  I really don't want to tinker, but someday I may look around at other loudspeakers . . . maybe.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

I have some of the same components:

PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player

and added a PS Audio BHK 250 to replace a Schitt Rag to run a pair of Spendor SA1s.

Can’t say how it works or why it works, but the difference is like night and day-detail, bass control,etc.  I am sold on PS Audio.

As with cars, your mileage may vary.  Try to get a loaner.  I think the BHK 250 is among the best amps I have owned (Levinson 336, McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Monos, etc.).  I still have t he 336 and a second DS Dac running Magi 3.7s.  When the time comes, I expect the BHK will replace the 336.

My two cents.
