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.

So you are looking for something that is as good as the Luxman L-590AX for 4000.00?  You might have to go the used market route to find something like that.

The Yamaha integrated amps are said to be warm like class A.   The A S2100 is in your price range.

Of course that I don't expect the sound as good as the Luxman's sound but an amplifier that can produce detailed sound.

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.
