Speaker interactions aside, what solid state amp brands/designers tend to have a fuller sound these days? Not necessarily warm or tubey per se, but fleshed out in the upper bass and harmonically complete in the midrange, as opposed to lean. E.g. an Australian ME Sound amp I have from a while back has this quality, without sounding overtly warm.
Obvious candidates: Pass, Luxman. What else?
Cost no object, feel free to throw out one-liners. Think of it as a poll. (Please don't answer tubes though, thanks. :D )
I prefer Class A amps - own Belles and Classe that operate in true Class A and sound excellent. Also use a Jeff Rowland that has a heavy duty power supply and sounds very nice.
goodness i am surprised that no one has yet listed one of the greatest SS amps on the market, and it is a real bang for the buck. that amp is the PS Audio BHK amp. i have owned many amps over the years and this is the best ever. Plus they build and service in Boulder.
