$1,000 - What amp?

I have been looking at them all. The McCormack DNA 125, MF A3cr, Aragon, Krell 300iL, PS Audio HCA-2, and some others. I am just not sure what to buy with a grand. I have a Jolida hybrid right now, and I like it a lot, but it doesn't have enough power and is too sloppy in the bass.

I do want something that is musical, and detailed with tight bass, and lots of gas. I have Michael Green Chameleons which aren't that hard to drive.

Thx for any ideas!

While foreverhifi's point about still having to experiment with amps is well taken, it is not the Michael Green approach. To paraphrase the MGD approach, one achieves audio nirvana not by frequently swapping out components to find the best synergy for your tastes, but, by choosing components based on their "tuneability". Then tuning your entire system, electrically, mechanically and acoustically to your tastes. Michael would probably recommend the now discontinued Marantz MA-500 monoblocks because of their tuneability.
