Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp?

Keep an eye out for a used ML 23.5 or 27.5 (not a 23 or 27.)

Odyssey amps have a 'warm' sound, and are a great bargain to boot. Detail, speed and power are all there. For $2k you can get a used pair of their Mono Extremes.

The newwer c-j ss amps are reputed to be a bit "punchier" than their predecessors, that combined with the more detailed pre (Modwright vs. c-j pv 11) your using now might prove to be satisfying.

I'll offer an alternative suggestion, if you don't mind.

Dan Wright has a new tube rectified PSU for the SWL that adds a very sweet warmth that the original PSU lacks.

From what I heard at RMAF the new PSU and the other changes Dan has made to his preamp changed the SWL from a non tube sound to a more musical tube sound while maintaining the SWLs dynamics and deep bass.

I plan on having my SWLs PSU swapped as soon as I can part with it.

This and a tube swap might add all the warmth you are looking for.

I would definitely check out the Electrocompaniet amplifiers in the power range you are considering. They are excellent performers and a joy to spend time with. Very musical..
