integrated amp suggestions solid state


i have been using a sim i5.3 for over 2 years now and a friend suggested to get something with more power(current).I listen to mainly jazz and classical.I have been looking at musical fidelity higher wattage amps and wonder if thats movin down the rung.I am working with budget so going to the evloution series would hurt,My speakers are addagios, cdp i5.3, az cabling.Some suggestions would be appreciated.Looking to stay solid state...thanks

Luxman L-550ax. 20 watts class A, much more powerful than you could imagine without hearing for yourself. I'm sure the Pass is nice too (Int 30?). Personally I'd go for lower power class A sound; "tubey" (full, harmonically rich sounding to my ears) sound without the hassle of tubes.
