Solid State amp with wide soundstage

So I bought a tube amp for a project and fell in love with the elbow room tubes give each musician. Unfortunately, because I listen to a lot of electronic music, the amp just doesn't give me the slam in the low end and the detail up top that I love. So please recommend a solid state amp that gives the best, widest soundstage. Budget $1000 used. Speakers Revel M20s.

Thanks.

I'll second the McCormack DNA-0.5 or DNA-1. Very open, quiet, transparent, and smooth but with great detail and wide/deep soundstage. In fact, lots of tube lovers have praised McCormack amps. Another plus is you can save your pennies and have them upgraded by Steve McCormack(SMcaudio) into what many call some of the best amps available at any price. I've been using a DNA-0.5 Rev. A for a couple years and haven't come close to even thinking about upgrading. Steve is also great to deal with--very honest and straightforward. Best of luck.
