hybrid solid state amps

The Blue Circle 200 series are great hybrid amps. The BC202 would fit in your price range. I personally own the BC206 and BC208. The designer, Gilbert Yeung, is easy to work with and will customize the units to your preferences including their costmetics.

there is another hybrid to consider.

the aria wt 100, designed by mike elliot of counterpoint fame.

Aria WT100 is a good choice. I have a NP100 with the Platinum upgrade, which is supposed to be very close to the Aria WT100. I have it voiced to sound like a SET amp. a very good amp IMO....

The Monarchy SE-100 is NOT hybrid; sorry. I've just ordered two SE-160s, but they won't be here for a couple weeks.

Don't discount the Vincent just because of the money!! I have a 331 Vincent that drives a pair of B&W 802s and it sounds terrific. 150 per channel and 8 ohm, and if you have the room and the need, you could always get two and go mono. I think you will be surprised.
