Best SS Integrateds for a 4-500 budget

Hey everyone, I am shopping for a at least 80 wpc integrated amp. For a budget of around 4 or 5 hundred dollars. I will be driving a pair of dual 10" 3 way JBL ND310 speakers. And i need power. I was looking at the Cambridge Audio a500 but it only has 65 wpc, and i am not sure if thats going to be enough. I also want the best clean power i can get/And quality for the money. A remote would be nice too. If you have any suggestions/comments please post them, Thanks

If you're lucky, you may just be able to pick up an Alchemist Kraken at that price.

Best SS integrated I've heard less than $2000.

It looks like Artech Electronics still has a few Audiolab 8000S (with remote, but no phono like the 8000A) at $449 for demos or $549 for new, an amp that was very highly thought of at $1,100. 60 Watt rating, but actually delivers more, I can recall reading my 8000A (about 13 years old)actually measures out at about 87 WPC, although rated at 60, and it doesn't lack for power. Might be worth investigating.
