Default Big Stiff Power Amp for Dynaudio Audience 52SEs?

Hi.

While I like my nice valve amp, at 40WPC, it doesn't have quite
the kick I sometimes need for driving my (4 Ohm nominal) Dynaudio
Audience 52SE speakers.Not enough voltage headroom for serious bass
as in Bjork, for example.

I have a very strong suspicion that these speakers would benefit
well from being driven FIRMLY by a very big stiff (low Z_out) power
amp.

So in a couple of months' time, all being well, I might be after
such an amplifier. I reckon I'll pay up to about 1500 GBP, and I
want something that's rated AT LEAST 150WPC into 8 Ohms, and
achieves as nearly as possible a doubling of that power into 4 Ohms.

What's out there at that kind of price?


Thanks.


Martin

P.S. I'll still be hanging on to the valve amp!
