500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear.

Currently using Yamaha RXV1000 to power PSB Alpha A/V (6ohms)with Music Hall MMF CD25 connected to 5.1 inputs. Current set up sounds a little harsh, and I like a smoother sound. AQ Diamondback ics, Monster Original speaker cables. I also dont want to mess with tubes. Would consider used SS stuff. Thanks for the help!

You might want to consider taking the pre-outs from the yamaha to an external amp. For 500 you could get a pretty nice 2-ch amp, then eventually add a similar quality preamp. If you are patient, you might find an Aragon 4004, McCormack DNA .5, Anthem 1, Bryston 3B, etc

Suggest you include an NAD C350 on your audition list.

The Rega Mira does have pre-outs. You could bi-amp it with a Rega Cursa later. Get a Planet CD player, and you'll have some great synergy going. The other nice thing about Rega gear is that it sounds good with inexpensive speakers.
