What's the better, High Powered SS Amp?

I wouldn't classify a Bryston 4B SST as a "high powered" amp.
It had trouble pushing a 4 ohm speaker .

Now the 14B SST is a different story.

Try a c-j Premier 350. It has a high input impedance (no XLR input) which will be compatable with tube pre-amps.

Good Luck!

Caution to Maurlman1 ---Just like at the titty bars; no touching the performers. OK, R we clear??

Hey, even in the privacy of my home? Maybe that's why I'm drawn towards female singers. :-D

Anybody in CA are welcome to my place to see what I mean.

You have been clear that it is solid-state that you want, but is this because you envision buying an inefficient speaker like the mbl's? I ask because there is one tube amp that works particularly well with the big mbl 101, the CAT JL-3 (or the predecessor to that amp, the JL-1).

It is a very unusual design that was designed around the mbl 101 and that competes very favorably with massive solid-state amps. Here are a couple of links if you are interested:
