TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???

I've mostly been a SS guy over the years, but I appreciate what good tube amps can do. The best tube amp I've owned was an Aria Audio 350XL hybrid, designed by Mike Elliott of Counterpoint fame. Looking back, that thing had it all--but I sold it when I decided to get out of the hobby.

I got back into the hobby several years ago, and my amps since then have been SS Codas. I use a modified S12.5 in my main system and CSi-B integrated in my second rig. I really like the Coda sound: a beautiful blend of SS speed and clarity married to a just-sweet-enough treble and midrange. The Class A 15.5 is also a fantastic amp if your speakers need that kind of juice.

Has anyone looked at Wells Audio? I'm considering their Innomorata vs the Conrad Johnson CA150 vs PrimaLuna gear to drive my Salk HT2-TL's with Chord Hugo TT.

As a dyed in the wool tube fan--the ONLY amp would consider purchasing (under 30k) is the Wells Innomorata. I heard it with Salks in one system and Claravus in another. The closest to tubes I have ever heard. It's also a very nice looking amp IMHO.

That's some encouraging news! What do you think... Innomorata, AVA Synergy 450 + AVA Tube Preamp, or DiaLogue Premium Integrated [HP or not HP?]. I'm wanting the liquid "in the room" three dimensional sound, without any loss of bass extension and slam, for both nominal and late night listening. 

B&K MOSFET amps.  Affordable too.
