Have a bug for a new (to me) integrated

Hello all. I am seeking some opinions on a new to me integrated. Currently I have a Cary SLI80HS powering my beloved Volti Razz speakers. I want to keep the Cary, it really is a great tube amp. It's just that I've never powered my Razz with SS and I am very curious. Also I enjoy rotating gear in and out of my set up, always have. 

I have narrowed my pre-owned contenders a bit, I am open to other suggestions too.  Trying to stay in the $3 to $4k range. I listen mostly to metal, rock, and Jazz. Room is about 12'x12, not well treated other than a love seat and a couple other pieces of furniture.

I welcome all discussions and suggestions. 

Thank you!

 You are going to be completely disappointed with pretty much anything you choose in SS coming off the Cary!
 If you want to stick to completely SS your ONLY choice is to go full Class A and at your budget the Musical Fidelity A1 reissue would be my #1 choice..
 A gently used Sugden A21 SE Signature would be the top dog BUT they are rare as hens teeth on the pre owned market..

This hobby is tough. It always leaves you longing for the next big change. To me, you found your perfect pairing. Cary and Volti together is a combo hard to improve on! You did your homework well!!

Krell 300i is class A up to 90 watts, I couldn’t believe how good the Krell Integrated was when I had it for an audition, I ended up with Krell separates but the difference was minor.  Accuphase is outstanding as well.
