you are looking into "the most "tube-like" SS amps " then you MUST check Spectron amplifier !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I owned a number of tube amps and the last was a McIntosh ...but no comparison with Spectron.

As a Spectron owner, it is not tube.

I have owned McIntosh MC 501, it's far from a good tube amp.

Bottom line, tube rules. I am keeping my BAT 150SE.

I've not understood the need for a low-powered SS amp. If my speakers just needed 30 watts, I'd get a tubed amp.

Low maintenance.

No burnt fingers/hands on curious youngsters.
