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.

The Plinius is better then a Mcintosh.

The mcintosh integrated uses autotransformers which means a warm but not particularly well defined treble. 

We sold both the Syncrony and the Pliuus as a system they totally complimented each other.

Quite low on your budget side (used can be had for as little as $1400) but still an extremely musical piece
Primare I32.
The Swedes and Nords seem to have a good handle on integrateds of late.

AudioTroy  The MA5200 doesn't have Autoformers.  And your opinion is dead wrong.

Parasound HALO for a smaller budget. Might as well as throw Lyngdorf TDA-2170 in the hat as well. Room Perfect is great addition.
