integrated amp suggestions solid state

i have been using a sim i5.3 for over 2 years now and a friend suggested to get something with more power(current).I listen to mainly jazz and classical.I have been looking at musical fidelity higher wattage amps and wonder if thats movin down the rung.I am working with budget so going to the evloution series would hurt,My speakers are addagios, cdp i5.3, az cabling.Some suggestions would be appreciated.Looking to stay solid state...thanks

I have used and love the ATC SIA2-150. 150 watts where the first 15 are in class A and then moves into class A/B if more power is needed. The ATC has the rich full bodied sound of class A with the nuts of very well designed class A/B. I preferred it to many of the afore mentioned integrateds.

Good-luck

At $4k new and a fraction used a Redgum RGi120ENR should be considered. Best ss stuff I've heard--I've preferred it to Pass and Plinus.

SIM is a fine amp. If you like the sonics, look for a larger SIM integrated.

Its a great amp...and i have considered the 600i.just looking outside the fray a little.I actually think im going to pull the trigger on the modwright int.So many(too many) to consider.Local company and dan(modwright) is very easy going communicator.

REGA OSIRIS .....Well worth the audition
Check out the specs and reviews .....it convinced me enough to start over with this as the foundation of my new system.
