Need help to find a solid state amp that sounds as good as VTL S200

The VTL S200 gives me exactly the sound I was looking for. It has everything, the only issue it’s a tube amp and I promised myself to never go back to tubes. Anyone has a suggestion for a solid state amp that is close in performance to the VTL?

What kind of speakers do you have ,efficiency,and your budget ?
pass labs comes to mind ! Why no tubes ? For sure a good tube preamp,or dac  power tubes in a amp require much higher maintainence , small tubes will ladt several years on average , and buying NOS older tubes 50-60s ladt longer still and sound better.
