Warm sounding ss power amps


Can anyone suggest a ss stereo or monoblock power amp that
has a warmer sound?
I am open to ideas on how to warm up a "bright" sounding system.
Thanks,Johnny7

To respond to something that Megasam stated, Bi-polar amps are typically known for having better bass response than Mosfets when properly designed. As such, one would think that they would sound "warmer" but that is typically not the case. Mosfets are typically "softer" sounding to start off with and, as is the case in most "mass produced" electronics, the lack of gain matching in Bi-polar output devices can tend to make them sound hard or bright. Lack of "gain matching" in bi-polar based amps is why most of the SS "muscle amps" of the 1970's and early 80's sounded so "transistor" even though many of them were capable of excellent bass response.

Class CA-300. I later replaced mine with a BAT VK-500 for a variety of reasons, but the CA-300 is a warmer sounding component and a great value at the used prices I see it going for.
Blue Circle audio products have excellent warmth. Try the BC22 ss amp. but be sure to mate it well. The BC21 pre amp is a great choice.
The bat vk200 is supposed to be more musical, never listed to the vk500. Like John said, may depend on power needs. I feel the 200 has plenty of power. good luck pete
