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.

I have the PSB T3’s and until recently was driving them with a NAD M27. Find another upgrade option outside of the NAD. The NAD sound lacks the kind of ’life’ and harmonic rightness that makes you want to close your eyes and tap your feet.

The Plinius @audiotroy recommends might very well be a great way to go. Plinius is known for making a great tubelike sounding SS amplifier. Good luck! 👍

@dames4  Your English is terrific and from the responses everyone is clear on what you are asking.

I'll be contrarian here (which I will also note isn't directly helpful since you have already made the purchase) but please know that part of this can be laid upon your speakers. I'm sure you will find a good pairing, but remember that speaker choice is critical as well. 

All the best with your choices. You have an abundance of great options.

You could get a new Moon integrated at your price and maybe find a used 600i which is an excellent product. Bryson, Macintosh used. You might also find a used Allnic tubed integrated at your price. Best wishes.
