Adding Amp with stock head unit

[Newcar]

Stock head unit only has high level speaker outputs (Honda Pilot). I have to stay with stock unit. Some amplifiers accept these outputs, whereas many require conversion to low level inputs. Is there a significant benefit to purchasing an amp that accepts these high level speaker outputs. If so, please provide recommendations. Planning on component 6.5" up front, 6.5" coax rear doors and 10" sub built in current stock location. With professional install, willing to pay up to $3,000. Music tastes run from jazz to rock.

While I am here, any recommendations of installers in the Denver area. Thanks!
