Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?


There seems to be consensus SS amps in general are better match for Raidho speakers than tube amps. I'm using 200 watt Bob Carver tube monoblock amps with my D2 to great effect, but I'm interested in getting a SS amp (less than 8k new or used).  The Soluution, Constellation, etc are way too overpriced IMO.  Any experiences with less costly offerings?  I am looking into the new Yamaha top of the line integrated, AS3000, which is 7k retail.  It's rated 100 watt at 8 ohm and 150 at 4 ohms and is built like a tank with substantial power supply (over 50 lbs).  This is the way Yamaha used to build their top amps decades ago before they went cheap mass market.

I'm in Boston. Waited for 2 hours in TSA line at airport, nearly turned back but glad I stuck it out. I hope more reviewers write about Aavik / D3 etc. This forum is one few places where this range of products is covered reasonably well.
If you like the sound of tubes, I feel choice is limited with the Raidhos. Most tube amps seem to be slow and bloated and dynamically restricted when you push the amp hard with Raidhos.  Imo, the only tube amp that whips the Raidho into shape is Bob Carver Mono block amp, provided you have a preamp that has a lot of drive and dynamics. I've found the Carvers to be chameleon like revealing your source's and preamp's capabilities. You'll get the dimensionality, midrange glow, and naturalness good tube amps are known for with the dynamic drive and bass extension you'd expect from a solid state amp.  I'm so enthralled, I'm getting Bob's 900 watt 4 chassis silver 7 tube amp to see what Raidhos can truly do.  I started this thread to see what all the fuss was about Raidhos and SS and digital amps. But more I think about it and read people's comments, I don't really feel the need to go SS  or digital.
IMHO: On balance, a really well-matched SS is my preference because (and this opinion is liable to be wrong) ... because the "gap" between tube and SS seems to be narrowing.
The Aavik was as "musical" as most amps I have heard. Certainly "musical" enough for my tastes, but that doesn't count for much.
What surprises me a little is the lack of any comment on D'Agostino Momentum's here. I have heard these several times, but not with Raidho, I wonder what that combo would be like? While Momentums look terrific, I suspect I would put my hard-earned $'s on an Aavik or an upgrade on the Chord's, which currently do a terrific job for me, even a humble little SPM600 which I have.
I have just played Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" LP (quite loud). My little D3-Chord combo genuinely worked to me: the pace, the separation, the performance (especially the drumming), the staging and quality of everything shone out as never before. It was like listening to this classic for the first time :-) ... this is really what it's all about. Next stop: Beethoven quartets.
Based a comments from a very well known designer of amplifiers, the Momentum chassis is pure audio jewelry, but there's nothing special about the circuitry. As for sound, I've heard varying opinions. I hope someone can chime in.
