Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?

Aside from the Sugden A21 series, what other more "budget" solid state amps (under $2K new or used) in your experience with at least 25 wpc manufactured within 20 years offer a really smooth, organic sound? I don't want to go the tubes route again. I'm thinking Heed, Arcam (at least the older, pre class G era)? What else in your experience?

I have already compared the hegel 160 with the sony ta-4650 with focal sopra 1, no match...
The dynamic of these two amps is very good, but the sound of the Sony is more natural and realistic.
V-fet transistors Sony, same of Pass first watt SIT.
