NAD C 375BEE Integrated Amp Replacement Recommendations

I use the NAD C375BEE integrated with Klipsch RF-7 II speakers. Do you have any experience, or can you recommend an integrated with the grunt (bass weight) and smooth sound of the NAD C 375BE, but more refinement?   Looking not to spend more than about $2500.

Musical Fidelity M5si?
Luxman 505ux?
Musical Fidelity A5?
What have you heard; What's your take? Thanks

Willand and seuntaeck, appreciate the feedback. Willand, I know your username from the Klipsch community forum.  I used to have a Yamaha AS 2000; in fact I had two AS 2000's . The first I owned had more grunt but had a protection circuit issue and I returned it. The second AS2000 I owned, for whatever reason did not have as much low end weight as the first one.  I eventually sold it.

I had a Musicial Fidelity A5 and now own an NAD 375BEE. I don't think the A5 would be an improvement over the NAD. Both have a similar sonic signature as I recall, but the NAD has quite a bit more power and features.
