Is the Marantz PM 11S3 integrated too much amplifier for Monitor Audio RX6 speakers or will the amp make these speakers shine?  Right now my RX6's are being powered by a vintage Yamaha A450 Natural Sound Amplifier (bought in 1980).  Some details in the mid frequency are too soft and I have to strain to hear them.  Cymbals are softer than the drum strikes.  Multiple voices singing together and instruments are a bit fuzzy.  I need an amplifier that will even the playing field between the highs, mids and lows so I hear EVERYTHING the artists and producers intended.  I want better imaging and a more accurate soundstage.  Will the PM 11S3 give me that?  I like the PM 11S3 for the phonostage, preout for subwoofer connection, A + B speaker connections and the balanced inputs.  If any other integrateds can give me that I'm interested.  Cost ceiling, $5000.  Thanks.
