Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland

So I did some youtube 'auditioning' of the amps mentioned here, not all though. The only SS amps that I liked were Gryphon - deep dark powerful sound reaching subterranian regions. Hybrids - Ypsilon and Absolare followed by Lamm. Tube - Lamm SET.
Not impressed by Vitus or Swiss brands. Kondo has excellent tone but no drive or bass. MBL okay.
Will tryTenor, Wavac etc. too.
Best speaker so far - Lansche. Ypsilon/Lansche system is spectacular.
Very different, but Absolar/Rockport is very impressive too - big forcefull powerful sound, perfect for certain types of music.
I'll try to find another SS  to join this company, for now no luck.

Any love for older Krell integrated amps?  Say, the 300/400 series models?

I prefer the idea of using a tube preamplifier and solid state amplifier or mono blocks. Each of those represent the " real deal " .
