SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?

I'm thinking of trying out a solid state amp in place of my 300B SET, which is giving me some problems again and the builder is swamped so it's going to be awhile.

Suggestions? Speakers are 96dB 12" 2-way bass reflex studio monitors from a Japanese recording studio.

There are some very good Chinese copy Dartzeel NHB108 amplifiers for around 1000 USD.Mine sounds superb and I will not be going back to a SET again.Used in combination with my Supatek tube preamp it is the best sound I have ever had.

Interesting! Did you buy from the eBay source or from somewhere else?

It's almost like we all have different physiology and hear differently...

No more SET here, all push-pull pentode now, yet I enjoy my American made full Class-A 50w upgraded Pass/Forte’ Audio amplifier on rotation once in a while. Fed by a 6SN7 triode tube preamp. When I play it, I’m not in a hurry to go back to my tube amps.
