Try and find a McCormack DNA-1. Even better, one from SMC.
Amp Configuration SS or biamp Tube + SS
I've done a lot to my system from caps, wire, tubes, many speakers, and dacs. I am finally pretty happy with everything, but I never found a lot of high return in amps.
Every upgrade i've done has lead to simply a more realistic presentation of the music, more detail, less glare, lower noise floor, and better sound stage.
My current system involves a Mirus DAC > Pathos Preamp > two Audio Source amps > into JBL 4319.
The surprising thing is that I never found the audio source amps to be holding back the system, but as I am done tinkering with everything and it seems its time to try amps again.
I was thinking about using A21+ amp to replace the two audio source amps, or should I try keeping the SS amp for the woofer and pairing the HF with a pair of tube amps, quicksilver mid mono.
