Integrated match for Martin Logan Ascents

Have the upgrade bug...

At present, running a B&K Ref 2220 with NAD C-160 pre into M/L Ascents. Sounds good, but I know can do better...both the pre and amp probably need to move to the bedroom system...rather than sink big $ into separates, looking at integrated...any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Other components include Proceed DAP, Denon 5 disc carousel, HT Pro Silway ICs and Phoenix Gold Biwire speaker cables.

Thanks

How about a high powered integrated tube amp? I easily powered my Aerius i (89dB, 4 ohm) which is rated much like the Ascent (90dB, 4 ohm), with a VTL IT85. Tubes sound awesome with martin logans... that's what they say, and I have heard it myself!

The VTL is 80 wpc and sounded great. Maybe others have integrated tube suggestions?
