Favorite SS Amp?

And the search continues. I am always looking for better. I currently have a pair of Dali Euphonia MS-4's which I love. I am using a Sherbourn 7/2100 which is a fine amp but not exactly what I am looking for. Ideally I am looking to go back to just 2 channel. Based on size and WAF constraints, I am limited to a stereo amp that will be in a cabinet so heat will be a consideration, although the bottom shelf could conceivably have 5-6 inches above it for heat dissipation if I went to a Class A amplifier. Budget is a consideration. Really not looking to spend much over 3-4K used. High current and respectable power would be a plus. Sonic signature is very important and big soundstage as well. Thanks in advance for all of your good input.

Good Listening,

According to Bound for Sound and some other independent magazines Clayton's amp are suppose to be the best SS.
I used to have Electrocompaniet, to my ears it was really good without competition in his price range.

I have heard Krell amps on the few occasions to my ears they are the worst from SS, utterly unmusical. So it must be a taste.

Hey Driver,
I too have the v 5 x and wouldn't think of replacing it. It's smooth.

Belles 350 A. I have had Bryston, Levinson, Gamut. For the money nothing compares to Belles.
