Warmer sounding Solid State

Having some technical issues with my Marantz PM8005 interferring with other gear in my setup.  Sounds great with my Dali Oberon 5s though.  Any other manufacturers make a solid state that has a “warmer” sound like the Marantz?  Slightly rolled off highs, good midrange and full bass?

I assume an integrated in the same price range (under $1k?).  Perhaps take a look at the NAD C 368.

Yup, Parasound is definitely warm.  It generally has pretty good high frequency response (depending on speaker), but it will have a little slower attack on the midrange.

Digital Amplifier Company (DAC) does a great job with this. A meat on the bones digital amp. 30 day return policy.
Perhaps its not the amp but the source is a little "hot"?
ATC also makes very good class A and Class A/B biased into class A. I have owned both and prefer the sound, convenience, and price point of the DAC amps. Contact Tommy he's a great guy and will work with you.
