What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's

Hi all,
This is my first post. Anyways, I think I am interested in upgrading my system's amplifier.
Listed components in my system are
Sota Saphire turntable> Cambridge audio 551P > NAD c325BEE>
Vandersteen 1C

I also use a playstation 3 or oppo DV 980-H to play cd's and a sansui sc-1110 for cassettes.

I think I want to break out the amplifier section of NAD and use a separate stage running out of the C325BEE preamp.

Suggestions?

I LOVED My 1Bs...sent 'em back for cloth replacement and sold them (too many cats messing with them back then), but what a great speaker. They're efficient so why not try an inexpensive tube amp? Well? Why not? Come on! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?...sorry...got carried away...whew...sorry man...wow...deep breath...

Yes, and yes. I've owned a factory upgraded Jolida 502P and it's been amazing (year and a half or so). Quiet, very detailed, plenty of tube power...an excellent and accurate very musical amp, has XLR and RCA inputs, 8 or 4 ohm output (all rare at that price), the people at Jolida MD will talk to you, and Jason Statham bought one. I researched the crap out of currently available tube stuff, and Jolida got the nod as nothing comes close...a bargain.
