Tube AMP or SS

Hello everyone, I need some advice on an amp to purchase, maybe I dont even need one but need your expertise. I have a Yamaha rx-a1000 recv and MA S8 speakers and center, plus rears. I listen to jazz and watch now and them some blockbuster stuff. Looking to increase the clarity and sound stage. Dont have much cash, and was wondering if a tube amp would make a big difference. If so, can I purchase anything in the 1k range?

So do you guys think I should be looking elsewhere for crisp clean sound? Myabe that is whay you guys call bright? AS I understand from reading in the forum, tubes generally are warmer than SS amps? Are my speakers MA 8S something that would pair up ok with a tube amp?

OK, please excuse my ignorance, but why tubes have such low output watts? I was looking at a YAQIN-300C and is only 9.5w per channel. Is tubes output calculated diff than a reg amp?

MA is short for Monitor Audio which are speaker manufactures.

Thanks to everyone on your response. Do you guys know of any DVD to configure your HT to get the most clarity from it? There is and edless configuring of the EQ, but dont know what the heck Im doing, so dont want to change it, might make it worse than better.
