sweetest sounding ss integrated

Thanks to all for most helpful responses!

Combining recommendations, we have a great shortlist here to start working through.

This is one of the finest sounding solid state amps available, and is very tube-like without the tubes. With the 30 day policy that Vinnie offers, you can't go wrong. It also seems to offer more power than its 30watt per channel sugggests and i'm sure it will be plenty for those speakers.

I'm hooked!

Third for the Red Wine Sig 30.2!

I would also throw in the Pathos Logos or Classic MK II, although for large scale you may want to get two classic's (something not uncommonly done).

In my opinion the sim gear isn't as euphonic as it is revealing and transparent.

Plinius 9200 is pretty warm sounding. I had one for a little and thought it was a pretty nice unit, especially since it's a complete package, so long as you're not a phono stage freak.

The BAT can sound very lovely, depending on the setup. The supertube version sounded euphonic when I heard it (with Verity speakers) but the SS version wasn't for me.

Old Rowland gear, like the Concentra, get's referred to as warm, but not nec. my experience with all rowland gear.

I have the Pass INT-150 now and it's quite organic, but don't think it's coming up used yet, and don't know about for that price. Still, worth checking out, if you are around a pass dealer.

I would think one of the Unico hybrids or a Pathos Logos would be a goo direction, especially given the listening preferences.

Check out the LSA hybrid integrateds. They have three models.

All three are reviewed on Stereomojo.com and a couple of other places overseas.
