Amp Suggestions for Harbeth C7es3

I have a pair of C7 pairing with Supernait. In my current room (8'x10' room with speakers placed against 10' side wall), the combination is a bit too expansive. I would appreciate some opinions if I were to change the amp to get a little more high frequence air and better sound stage and sound image definitions. I mostly listen to Classical and Jazz music, occasionally vocal and pop, thus I don't mind losing a bit bottom end punch, as long as the bass definition doesn't suffer. I am also not ready yet to jump to the tube camp yet. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

cheers

I'm a Harbeth dealer and carry LFD and Luxman. One a budget my pick is the Rogue Cronus Magnum. Laugh all you want. This amp is simply astoundingly good for the money. Almost unbeatable. On a super tight budegt we are getting great results with Audiolab 8200A. Real nice on the cheap.

Under the heading of "Better late that never" I use EAR 70 watts with great success.

When I had my C7es3's I used a Rogue Cronus Magnum and to my ears it couldn't have been a better pairing. I wish I kept that integrated. I see the Audiolab suggestion above but that would be nearly impossible to sell for more than a few hundred bucks when you're done with it. The Rogue won't take such a big dump in value.

Id love to hear a Quicksilver versus a comparable Rogue amp driving the C7's. For instance, a Rogue St-100 vs Quickie Silver 88's or the new quickie monos that use a pair of KT 150's per side. I believe all of the above fall in the $3,000-$3,500 range.
