B and K Refernce 2220 Next Step

I am looking to upgrade this amp, does anyone have an opinion on where I can go from here for about 1k used or should I keep what I have for that price range? I am using the amp to power Sonus Faber Concertos (The bookshelfs) so I dont think I need a lot of power.

My system is a VPI scout with Granite 770FP preamp

Thanks, any input would be appreciated

I sort of agree with Jaybo and Glenhifi, but if you really have the itch for a change, you may want to try tubes - and specifically a TAD 60. There's one listed currently (I have no affiliation), and they come up used now and then, or you may be able to get a new one directly from TAD. The difference you'll notice vs your B&K will be more holographic imaging. In my limited experience, the difference between B&K amps (ie in the class of your 2220) and other SS amps is more subtle, and not necessarily profoundly better.

I like the idea for the tubes thanks for the suggestions. I do have a Vandersteen Sub 2wq which I enjoy bc the sonus fabers are a little light on the base.
