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.

Thank you!

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.

I'm not expert, but I have an Advance Paris A10 Classic, and the preamp portion of it has tubes and I love the sound.  You can save a third of the price if you go gray market.  Just search on eBay. Given your budget, you can probably swing the A12.
