SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B

  Sorry about my poor English.
  A couple of weeks ago I bought a brand new (old stock) PSB Synchrony One B speakers.
 Great sound with the Luxman L-590AX that I borrowed from my friend but of course I cannot afford one.
 So far I am using NAD C326 Int.Amp. Standard NAD house sound. Nice dynamics but confused highs.
 Any suggestions on the SS Integrated amplifier. The maximum budget is $4000.00. Listening room is 17'x12'x8'.    Very moderate listening levels. Such a posting already exists (by Djengan). The Rega Elicit-R would be one of the options but i heard from the people who are familiar with the Rega electronics, that particular model lately have issues with the humming transformers. Thank you in advance on your opinions.

They want an amp that can be very comfortable with 4ohms even 2ohms as I see it.

+1 for the John Curl designed Parasound HALO Integrated, Pass Labs Inter, maybe "some" Class-D that can handle 2ohms.

Not many tubes unless they have a 2ohm tap, I can think of one, the Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated Amplifier 2ohm tap is good (green) but the 4 and 8 peaks up in FR. Trouble is by using the 2ohm tap you sacrifice a lot of wattage.
