Amps that sounds similar or close to Lamm hybrids

Am curious, is there an amp that sounds close or similar to the Lamm hybrids for a lot less $. A friend of mine is asking if there is such thing ?
I told him, so far the amp that sounds closest to the Lamm is really the Lamm. Anyhow, perhaps someone can chime in.

Sorry for the silly question.

A reviewer friend of mine has the Lamm 1.2's (I think thats the model number) the solid state mono blocks with with the single tube in each one. But to my ears Mark Levinson, and I'm not kidding, the Marantz Reference mono blocks. Give a listen for yourself if you can you'll be surprised.
