Solid State Power Amps

I’m currently using 2 PrimaLuna EVO 400 power amps. I want to try my EVO 400 preamp with solid state power amps. I am considering the BHK 300, MC830, Accuphase 250 or 300 and the Pass X260.8. My budget is around 25k. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. If there is something else please recommend it.

A lot of great choices being recommended.  I own Boulder and would recommend the 1160 amp or a used 2060.

++1 for CODA amplifiers. I own the S5.5 (50wpc Class A, 100 amp current), and it's a brilliant amplifier......the best solid state amplifier I've ever owned. I realize that 50wpc may not be enough for your wishes, so you could consider the new CODA System 150. It's a 2 box design, 100wpc class A or 150wpc A/B, north of 100 amps current. It's CDOA's "cost no object" system, and retails for $27,000 for both boxes.

Doug Dale (CODA owner) feels it's the best amp they've ever designed, and it should be for sale by August. I am not sure where you live, but Destination Hi-Fi in L.A. should have demo units in the next month.....then some other dealers like Audio Archon in Chicago following that.

Don't guess. Join the Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Stereo V2 tour. Hear it in your system for the price of shipping and a small review. Check their website to participate. It knocked my tube and class A amps out of the system.

Thanks,
