power amp recommendation

I am using a Naim Superuniti [80 watts per channel] to drive a pair of YG Carmels. Wish to upgrade the amp side. I am considering the Hypex Ncore 500 class D amp; any other solid state recommendations? Thanks

I own the ST500, and after having owned older power amps from Marantz, Parasound and McCormack, I could not be more pleased.
