Aria WT100 is a good choice. I have a NP100 with the Platinum upgrade, which is supposed to be very close to the Aria WT100. I have it voiced to sound like a SET amp. a very good amp IMO....

The Monarchy SE-100 is NOT hybrid; sorry. I've just ordered two SE-160s, but they won't be here for a couple weeks.

Don't discount the Vincent just because of the money!! I have a 331 Vincent that drives a pair of B&W 802s and it sounds terrific. 150 per channel and 8 ohm, and if you have the room and the need, you could always get two and go mono. I think you will be surprised.

i too, am looking for hybrid power amps. i discover JE audio and Aesthetix are another 2 brands.
Can anyone suggest other hybrid amp that do not have negative feedback loop in circuits? meaning no global and no local feedback...
Thanks
