Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 amplifier Recommendation

Using a Conrad Johnson MV55 at 45wpc. Feel like I need a little more control of the bottom end. Does anyone have a recommendation for an amp or integrated that is synergistic with these speakers.

I borrowed a friend's roguee audio at 100 wpc tonight. It did tighten the bottom end up but sounded less transparent than the cj and it's el34. Would prefer tubes but is this a speaker that needs solid state for best performance.?

In heavy rotation now is classic jazz. But listen to rock as well that is where things get more confused. Vocals on the other hand sound great.
