SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B

  Sorry about my poor English.
  A couple of weeks ago I bought a brand new (old stock) PSB Synchrony One B speakers.
 Great sound with the Luxman L-590AX that I borrowed from my friend but of course I cannot afford one.
 So far I am using NAD C326 Int.Amp. Standard NAD house sound. Nice dynamics but confused highs.
 Any suggestions on the SS Integrated amplifier. The maximum budget is $4000.00. Listening room is 17'x12'x8'.    Very moderate listening levels. Such a posting already exists (by Djengan). The Rega Elicit-R would be one of the options but i heard from the people who are familiar with the Rega electronics, that particular model lately have issues with the humming transformers. Thank you in advance on your opinions.

I have the PSB T3’s and until recently was driving them with a NAD M27. Find another upgrade option outside of the NAD. The NAD sound lacks the kind of ’life’ and harmonic rightness that makes you want to close your eyes and tap your feet.

The Plinius @audiotroy recommends might very well be a great way to go. Plinius is known for making a great tubelike sounding SS amplifier. Good luck! 👍

Good luck with the Vincent.
Let us know how you like it once it's broken in.

I've found that my T3's need good current delivery to sound their best, especially on the bottom end. When I went from a Nad M27 to a BAT VK-6200 my T3's came to life. I am curious how your Synchrony 1's play with tubes.
