Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500

Looking for best bang for buck amp for under $ 500.  I have triangle Bro 2 speakers already and cables and a dac.  So just looking at a amp.  Something in the 50-100 watt range, slightly on warm side of neutral, good low end, all the good stuff.

Right now i own the Emotiva basx A-100 its not bad i paid $199 but i want to step up my game.  Im kinda looking at Cambridge audio AXR100, a couple of yamahas, but wide open to suggestions ?

And how could I forget Cyrus. I've owned a one and a two. Great sound, built like tanks. 
I've always wanted to try a Rega

I've always had a soft spot for a cool integrated. I still have a really retro cool Ariston 40w, made in Scotland. I've hade a couple NAD's. Love their quality and bang for the buck. I'd try NAD, Cambridge, Leek and maybe see if you could find a used Acurus.

In the clearance section of Audio Advisor there's a NAD 316 BEE $449.00 40WPC. Bought this for my son as a starter and he loves it.

For a little more power and features there's the NAD C338 50 WPC for $600.00
