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

I took my Yamaha A-S1000(90w/ch@8ohms, 140w/ch@4ohms) over to my buddies house where he was performing an RF-7 vs RF-7II vs RF-7III shootout and for fun we used different amplification to add to the mix.  The Yamaha had no problem making all three pairs thump as well as offering more refinement and detail.  His family room is on the large side and the Yamaha held it's own against the more powerful Acurus A200 and it's 200w/300w.

Maybe consider the Yamaha A-S2000 or A-S1100 which are a bit more refined than the A-S1000.
