Solid State equivalents of CJ Premier 17LS?

Looking for detail and resolution
without grain or edge. Anyone willing
to help?

I replaced my 17 with a 16 and have not looked back. But, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do away with the tubed 17 and go to ss. Tubes in a preamp are not a hassle and the sound is simply sublime.

I have not found an affordable tube unit (that I can actually audition) that I like as much. Thought I should research a solid state option as well.
