Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?

I have owned a Pass Labs F5 and a friend owned an Aleph 3.Very decent sounding amps if a bit boring.Nothing like a good SET in sound though .Even with a very good 300B preamp driving them.The Bakoons are in totally different league .

I have heard Grandinote. A guy who is an importer would bring in things like TAD speakers and such to compare to what we were building.

One day he came in and asked my boss Mike if he’d heard Grandinote, so flight cases were opened up, and a Grandinote music server and integrated (I think it was an integrated) amplifier.

Well I’m always welcomed to come listen to something new, and we all sat there to listen. I wasn’t there for the MSB DAC and amplifier which was apparently the best Mike (my boss) had heard, this Grandinote combination was the best I’d ever heard driving our top of the line speakers.

The detail and lack of noise was exquisite. Unfortunately not in my current budget new. I don’t know if it was top of the line or entry level that I heard, I will tell you they together (DAC and amplifier) were refined and highly resolving.

@mglik, I highly recommend you listen to the Bakoon 13R. I use it with the Cube Nenuphar full range speakers but it drives less efficient speakers like Boenicke just fine as well. It’s also not ridiculously expensive. Here in the UK it’s £5,995 and has bettered other SS amps costing considerably more. It’s unique, and has just received a Red Dot Award for design and a Six Moons Blue Moon Award for sound.

If you would like to know more you can PM me if you wish.

M2Tech Crosby in monoblock config. Balanced, powerful and the sweetest class d I have listened to. Relatively speaking affordable.  Paired with my Zu Druid 6's, they are special.

Boulder amps meet the sonic challenge,  and then some.
So much air, space, delicacy, but combined with epic grunt
