Integrated Amp. for Platinum Solos?

I am driving my Hales T-5's with a NAD S300 integrated
amp. NAD rates it at 100 WPC, but it sounds better and
plays louder than when I was driving them with an
Odyssey Stratos amp (150 WPC). My Hales are rated at 88
db. Great build quality too.

I drove a set of Acoustic Energy AE-1's,which are similar in design to the platinum solo's,with an Exposure XV integrated amp. It has to be in a relatively small room however. It's only got 40 watts per channel,but the're quality watts.

I own the solos and just purchased a Musical Fidelity A3cr amp to drive them. I can say that the musicality of this amp...transparency etc. Far exceeding its cost. This sounds so magical and images great. However, for these speakers, I just dont think the MF has enough gas. On some tracks, the bass can be downright anemic. I am only guessing the integrated would offer similar bass performance. Remember, these are some of the most power hungry speakers out there. Period.

For what it is worth, the rowland and levinson integrateds sound great. Plenty of power!

Thank you guys all very much for your comments.
After reading your postings and doing some reasearch of my own, I have come to a conclusion that the separates are the
way to go with these speakers.
Maybe you can recommend me a good(and powerful, of course) Power Amp and Pre Amp combination which can be purchased
(used) for around $2,000. My choice of Power Amp at this
moment would be Bryston 4BST.
My room size would be about 200 square feet and I listen to
mostly classical music and Jazz.

While there have been many positive reviews about the synergy between Bryston preamps & amps I can advise I am very happy with my tube Rogue 66 preamp mated with my 4B-ST - both can be bought used within your budget with a little patience.
