SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp

I picked up an Onkyo TX-2500 MKII that sounded like my tube amp. I was actually stunned. Any other and hopefully newer SS gear sounds like a quality tube amp? Tube amps usually have a natural sound and lots of detail with high clarity.

I tested the Shiit Freya in my system with a Shiit Vidar amp

Changing from tubes to solid state made no difference with the Freya.

Either the system has a pleasing sound or it does not.
