AMP Upgrade for Martin Logan Aerius i setup

I remain pleased with my M-Ls (w/ small Hsu Sub), I have a smallish (12 x 14) dedicated 2 channel music room, split time evenly between Jazz/Classical/Ambient with a bit of R&R now and then. CDs/SACDs feed through a Sony SA9000ES, vinyl via VPI Aries/Dynavector setup. Current power is Jolida 1501RC modded to level II (Underwood). Overall I have been pleased with the Jolida, but with the recent Table and SACD upgrades, I am wondering what a $2K solution might bring to the party. I like the simplicity of Integrateds, and have been reading up on Bel Canto, Krell, etc. Any and all opinions welcome. Am I spending enough for a significant upgrade??

Thank you for the feedback! After much more reading and discussion with a few locals, I have narrowed down the options to consider as follows:
Anthem 225
Bel Canto S-300 iu
Cary Audio CAI 1
Krell KAV 400xi
Musical Fidelity A5.5
NAD M3
Primare I30
Wyred 4 Sound STI-500

Please help me reduce this list. I am going to purchase two or three and do some extensive testing. Thanks again for your input!
