Amplifier upgrade need ideas!

Hey guys!

I'm stuck, i have £250 to £300 to spend on a new amplifier. And i dont know what to go with.

At the moment i have a pair of Wharfedale 9.2 with a CA 340A and 340C. I listen to all types of music, a lot of drum and bass, dubstep, reggea, dub, hip hop, rock, etc, everything actually but mainly this sorta stuff.

What sorta amp should i be looking at, it also needs to have a pre amp output so that i can add a sub later on, when i have more money!

I have been looking at the NAD C325BEE, and the audiolab 8000s and the CA 540A, etc, but i've got nowhere.

Any of you lot have any ideas? Any models that i should look at?

Cheers!

Yea i've been looking at them, but im still not sure about the sound for my sort of music taste. Have tried any particular models? DO you know anything about the NAD C325?

Isn't the CA sound a bit more neutral than other amps, to be honest i prefer the more warmer sounding ampplfiers.

Cheers
