Integrated Amplifier with the Good Bass and Extended Highs

Looking for an SS Integrated amplifier with the NAD's or Simaudio's deep bass but with the extended highs
for the PSB Synchrony speakers. I listened PSB with the Accuphase E-470 (which I shouldn't) and since then I can't find the right amplifier. I tried Belles Aria but I didn't like the bass.

As above,
both the Rega Elicit-R and Anthem 225 are very good for the money, indeed.  The Anthem has incredible current to drive any speaker easily.
Excellent sound from both amps.  Happy Listening!

many good ideas here. I really like the Hegel sound and the fact that they are very versatile and can be used with many types of speakers. I opted for the h200 and am really enjoying it. I will probably not replace it as I am really happy with its clean, rich sound. My next purchase will be different speakers like planars or a small tube amp as a second system as I have no desire to change the Hegel.

I am curious about Wells Audio- have any of you guys taken a test-drive?

Happy Listening!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR OPINIONS
List of the amplifiers:
Accuphase E-270 (new) Hopefully similar sonic signature as the E-470
Simaudio 600i (used)
Hegel H160 (new)
Which one?

I had read  great stuff about the Aria. I use Belles Soloist 1. You really have picked great gear, just now personal preference and system/room synergy. Maybe also speaker placement.
