Looking to upgrade amp, need help.

I am currently looking to upgrade my amplifier. My current system is:
Focal 836v's
NAD C375Bee
NAD C546 cd player
Project debut carbon with Ortofon 2m bronze

I listen to both vinyl and CD's. Mostly classic rock but also a wide variety of music at times.  

My budget is $1500-$2000, probably purchase used to get more bang for my buck. I don't have a preference between SS or tubes, but don't have experience with tubes (but think they would be a good match for the Focals).

Any input is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Joel

I totally agree with the Rega recommendations above. This set-up on Canuck Audio will fill your life with joy (the phono stage on the Cursa preamp will destroy the Project BTW, which you can sell, and the Exon monoblocks will best the Elicit-R):

I don't know the seller BTW, I'm on the other side of the world. I just looked up Rega Exon on Hifishark thinking it might be the answer to your situation. Good luck!

That Audio Refinement mentioned above is very fine sounding gear.  It may be sold, I just checked listings and didn't see it.

The Audio Refinement is not sold, as I am the seller. It is up on a certain Canuck site, on the US side:
