Recommendations/thoughts on power for Quad 12L2s

Currently using a 50w NAD C 326BEE Integrated Amplifier. I am ecstatic with what I have because it was such a huge step up from what I had. You all know the ending: I now hear so much more of the music I thought I knew. (A night randomly surfing the web and finding Augdiogon pulled me into this new hobby.)

Based on my readings of the Audiogon forums, I am thinking of upgrading power. The practical side of me says keep it simple and get a Quad amp and then preamp. The other side that reads these forum discussions says some group of Quad owners had figured out the magical pairing.

I mostly listen to roots rock, Grateful Dead and Jazz. Price point is under $1500.

Any recommendation or comment is most welcome.

I would sit tight with what you have until you get out and hear other systems.
Also I am not sure which Quad amps you want. If it is the tube amps you seek then perhaps you are on to something. I love tube power but most people take a little time before moving away from their initial power. By that I mean they may tweak their sources and such.
