Power recommendation for Vany2ce-sigs

I've just purchased a pair of Vandersteen 2ce-signatures and I'm looking for input on upgrading pre/power amps. My current equipment consists of Carver C-19 (tubed) pre and TFM-45 (ss 375 wpc) power. I'm currently listen only to CD's via an ARC CD-1.

I don't have any real preference in ss or tubes - I do enjoy the non-fatiguing nature of the current set-up. My listening room is about 12'X16'. I listen at moderate volumes. The Carver equipment is bugging me as it attracts a lot of RF.

Would like to keep total amp expenditures to <$5K.

I mostly listen to blues and jazz, some pop. Might Sam McClain and Keb Mo have been in heavy rotation lately.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Thanks to those who have responded. Any good recommendations for tube gear? I've been reading some good owner reports on Rogue.

I didn't include specifics on my cables, they are: Audioquest Ruby between pre/power; Transparent The Link-100 from CD to pre; Audioquest Granite (PSC) bi-wire to speakers.
