Any GREAT "sleeper" amps?

Looking for relatively unknown super steal deal tube pwr/int amps - around 60-150 watts?

I have tried to replace it over the years with a McCormack .05, a Belles (older), a Llano 300 watt hybrid, an Odyessey Stratos, and finally a Pass labs X-150. The Pass was the only amp that made me smile more than my CJ, although it is not quite as warm sounding. The other amps did certain things better than the CJ but were not as musical overall in my system. I will be selling the CJ soon since I can't keep both the CJ and Pass.

I am very pleased with the purchase. For the used price these go for it is a no brainer for a pair of pure class A mono blocks that do not run hot.
