Warm sounding ss power amps

You might like a BAT VK200 or VK500 depending on power needs. I wouldnb't classify them as overly warm, but definately have weight and body. John

Check out the Conrad Johnson MF Amps.

I have a Audio Research 100.2 SS amp. This is a beautiful sounding amp. All the beauty of tubes without the hassle of warm up time, tube biasing, etc. This is a real sleeper in the Rudio Research line. Almost never seen on the used market. People really hang on the this amp.

Bright systems are often a function, in part, of bright rooms. Acoustic damping/diffusion could help a lot, especially sidewalls at the point of first reflection. I agree also that cleaner AC will really open up the upper-mids by removing grain and hash. You might try cables, too. I've found solid core copper to be the warmest type.
