FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE

I have, love, and am gonna keep using my Lavardin IT for awhile yet. I like it's speed, resolution, transparency etc. I use it to drive Yamaha NS1000m's - a match made in heaven IMHO.

However, if one wanted to go for more difficult flatter speakers such as MAgicos for instance - it just ain't got the grunt.

Outside of Soulution, and Constellation are there any fast and powerful amps out there with similar transparency to the `LAvardin IT?

The LAvardin IT has the following very good characteristics - particularly with a speaker that is fairly sensitive:
Transparency, resolution, not cold or harsh - hits the dividing line between valve and transistor very well. It is quite load tolerant - hence the ability to drive the NS1000m's. All said and done I am looking for something that has more grunt to drive a bigger pair of speakers that are not so benign as the Ns1000m's. I also think that whilst the LAvardin is far from cold - it can perhaps have a warmer more multi coloured tonal palette
