nad 370 upgrade

looking to upgrade to a next level integrated...can spend up to $2K. Would prefer ss as opposed to tubes or hybrids. Will be using for mostly vinyl. I have a separate phono stage so i won't need one in the unit. im using paradigm reference studio 20 v2 speakers, a music hall mmf-7 turntable, a grado ph-1 phono stage. my room is fairly small, and i listen to mostly classic older jazz(with acoustic bass), blues, and rock. so far, based on what ive read here and elsewhere, considering creek 5350 se, yba integre dt, arcam 85, musical fidelity 3.2, lfd mistral le, and plinius 8200 mkII. looking for good, realistic bass response, open soundstage, and air. any and all advice very appreciated.

interesting...almost everyone i've heard from here and other places have pointed to the nad as the weak spot.

what bookshelf speakers would you suggest?

thanks for all the help...at this point im going to leave the speakers alone, because i actually really like them, and my wife will flip out if i get new ones. but after all ive read in several different forums, im going to buy the mistral le. sounds like a terrific product, and should be a nice move up from the nad. i'll let everyone know how it turns out.
