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 own the Rega Elicit-R. I replaced more expensive separates and I prefer the Rega sound  overall. No hum and I've not read any professional reviews that mention hum from this model. I did read some comments about some people experiencing hum with the lower priced Rega Brio-R (not sure which version). But I've also read lots of comments about the Brio-R being really good for the price.

Anyway, I'm a very happy Rega Elicit-R owner. I also own the companion Rega Saturn-R CD player/transport/DAC and I find the combination outstanding in the mid-price level.
