New power amp for Quad 11Ls

My current setup:

Music Hall cd25.2
Music Hall a25.2
Quad 11L
Onkyo T-9 tuner
Audioquest Alpha-Snake interconnects
No-name 12-gauge speaker wire

I'm looking to upgrade and am thinking that I could get more out of my system by adding a power amp (I'd use the MH a25.2 as a preamp for the time being). So I'm wondering whether something like a PS Audio A100 would be a good match for my Quad 11Ls (which I really like). Any other ideas around $1000?

I'm working on new cables, too ...

Thanks.

I ran a pair of 12L's with the little Kingrex amp. It sounded wonderful, but obviously not much power, as it was a 10wpc t-amp.

Kingrex has a new 50wpc t-amp power amp for $799. 30 day trial from AudioMagus. I'd look into it.

Or, B&K still makes stereo amps. Upgraded versions of the old classic ST140's and ST202's. If you google you can find them pretty cheap, too.
