Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers


Hello to everyone.
I have very modest system and just recently I purchased Monitor Audio Silver S2 speakers.
So far I am using NAD C356, lots of bass but of course not so much details. My room is 17'x13'x9'.
I am listening everything, from uptempo jazz to old disco music. My budget is $2000-$2500.
Thanks in advance on your opinions

THANK YOU for the advice but I would like stay away from the tube Integrated amplifiers since I'm listening music all day long. Sometimes is always on. I know that the best sound comes with the tubes but I prefer SS Integrated amplifier which I should mention.


Those Monitor Audio Silver S2 speakers are nice - they're around $1000 new if I'm not mistaken - but spending $2000 to $2500 on an integrated amp and less than half that amount on the speakers seems to the reverse of what you'd want to do.  I've always had better success putting more money into the speakers - that component (along with the room) has the biggest effect on the sound you're hearing.  If you're not hearing the details you want, you should start with the speakers, not the integrated amp, especially since the amp you already have is a nice NAD unit.   

I know this is not what you want to hear, since you recently bought the speakers, but if you spend $2500 on an integrated amp and keep the same speakers you have, you're pretty much going to hear the same sound you're hearing now - no matter how good the amp is, the speakers can only do what they can do.   

My opinion is you're better of taking the $2500 you have in your budget and buying the best speakers you can possibly afford.  You'll have a better chance of success than throwing a $2500 amp at a $1000 pair of speakers.
My good friend just recently bought Accuphase E-370 and he was kind
enough to bring an Amplifier just to hear the difference. 
Of course, I shouldn't to this because I cannot afford such amplifier but the sound was.........what to say, tight controlled bass, beautiful highs and details that I could tell where is which instrument. He also suggested Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum amplifier but as I mentioned in posting, I would like to stay from tube amplifiers.
