For a few reasons I'd like to replace my EL34 mono blocks with a stereo SS amp producing 100-250 watts at 8 ohms. Also with at least 40K input impedance since I'll keep my tube line stage.
Many years ago, I worked almost exclusively with a great dealer in Denver who let me audition many different amps. My favorite (at my price point) was Electrocompaniet. It sounded much sweeter than some of the other SS amps that had me reaching for the mute button by the end of a CD.

I've been using tubes for over 30 years and recently switched to an SS Grandinote amp. That's when you realize that the best of both worlds are combined in these amplifiers. You soon forget all the talk about the warmth of tubes and the coldness of certain amps. A must-listen despite the high budget.
