What's the solid state amp to buy $2500?

I've been out of the loop for a couple years enjoying my Harbeth C7s with a pair of Joule 18w SET monos. My tastes have shifted and I'm looking for a solid state amp for the setup. System is vinyl only with Herron tube pre and phono.

How have your tastes shifted? What are you looking to change or improve upon?

You just missed the Herron monos that sold on Audiogon a couple of days ago for $2250, I believe it was. Maybe another pair will come along.

Go a bit higher and, if you can found one, buy a Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II.

I've had one for many years, and have had absolutely no desire to change.

also not sure what you are looking to improve upon from the Joule amps BUT I would think a used set of Herron monos would be in that price range

As noted above, the Parasound A21. It may be the best amp in that price range AND beats a lot of more expensive amps.
