The Fastest most musical amp

Since I got the upgrade bug and the only cure is to change my preamp and amp I am looking for some advice of our great Audiophile community to help me find the amplifier and preamp combo that suits me best. My priority are the folowing: I want to find the FASTEST and MOST MUSICAL amp and preamp ( It can be tube preamp ( tough I think all tube preamp are slow) or solid state preamp but only solid state amp.) I know that spectral is known to be one of the fastest but I don`t like the idea of being forced to use the Networked MIT cable (which slow up the sound much)

Spectral SV series, best midrange Spectral has ever produced.

To start with, look for an amp with only a pair of output transistors per channel. Can't get any faster than that.

All the best,

I personally prefer a slower amp as I can better understand what's happening as it gives me time to ponder the music.
