Looking for warmth


Hi,
I need some advice...I am looking for warmth in my system..I have Vandersteen 2ci's biamped with an Adcom 555mk2 for the bass and an Adcom 545 for the mids and high's..source is an Nad cd player running into an NAD 917 preamp. I'm using audioquest interconnects and "Anti-cable" speaker wire...I'm looking to spend about $500
Any suggestions would be appreciated....

Just remember the adcoms can be harsh and thus u may want get warmer sounding amps but if you go for warmish tube amp as suggested by many it may prove to be too warm and you may end up missing something else...I would not start out by trying the far end of warm but something more in between. I am not saying warm sounding amps are "bad" per se...far from it..but it may be too much of shock for you given what your system is currently delivering.
