Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?


For a few reasons I'd like to replace my EL34 mono blocks with a stereo SS amp producing 100-250 watts at 8 ohms.  Also with at least 40K input impedance since I'll keep my tube line stage.

No local dealers to audition candidates.

Thanks

The new kid on the block First Watt SIT-5 mono's!

They are fantastic! Beautiful tone and texture like my SIT-3, but more dynamic, open, and detailed. They sound so natural and alive.

Much more power, so can be used with less efficient speakers.

30 watts in 8ohms and 60 in 4ohms, they run quite hot. 

@lucky_doggg7 Ultra thick power cables are unnecessary.  I use GroverHuffman and Westminster Labs Ultra series power cords.  The latter are 15X more expensive than GroverHuffman but are relatively thin and flexible (1/2" thick).
