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.

NAD C375 lots of power and partners well with PSB.  i have the new Rega Brio and it's very musical.  no hum issues as reported with my sample either.  i am using Rega RS1's

The Belles are nothing but the overpriced mediocre electronics.

I certainly feel good about spending money on my new Belles amp a couple of years ago. In fact I feel great, it was a smart move on my part. I worked for some dealers and listened to a ton of good equipment and the Belles is real good.

There is a Coda CSI on another site for $3195... This is a decent price for a CSIB, but a bit over the going rate for a CSI.  It is worth an offer of $2000 to $2400.  It will make your Synchrony One's sing.

+timlub. The coda csib I think it is, is a great integrated. I think the bipolar outputs would be better for the synchrony ones than mosfet output if well implemented, and the coda will let the bipolars shine.
