Solid State amp with wide soundstage

So I bought a tube amp for a project and fell in love with the elbow room tubes give each musician. Unfortunately, because I listen to a lot of electronic music, the amp just doesn't give me the slam in the low end and the detail up top that I love. So please recommend a solid state amp that gives the best, widest soundstage. Budget $1000 used. Speakers Revel M20s.

Thanks.

This may be a bit out of your price range, but try the Plinius 8200. I have this integrated with my M-20s and I really like it. The amp is 175wpc (in New Zealand), so I think it may be closer to 200 or more here. I've seen them on AA used for as low as $1500. I have a cheaper sub (a Klipsch sw-12... which will be replaced when funds allow), and it helps with the bottom end. Although, I really like the sound without the sub.... I think the Plinius helps to push those speakers a little harder. Anyway, hope that helps. Let me know what you decide on.
