Solidstate king of immediacy for ceramic drivers ?

Which amp excells in immediacy on small accuton speakers like Marten Miles, Tidal Piano Cera, Kharma Ceramique ?

I would like to avoid the cold etchy thin bodyless sound of fast amps. Looking for the speed AND body factor. Dont care for ultimate resolution.

Please help to reduce / edit / sort my list - no tubes except berning - no hybrids

Vitus audio ss-010
Halcro MC20
Edge G4
Berning ZH-230

Valvet A3.5
ASR Emitter
Sovereign Glory

DNM PA3S
First Watt F5
Audiozone AMP2 (gainlone)
Anedio A1 (gainclone)

No Dartzeels - like to stay below 5k used

Plinius should be on your list. VERY good with Accuton driver based speakers

For a power amp the Modwright KWA 150 has the warmth of tubes but a the benefits of solid state bass response. Plenty of power too to drive those speakers.

Why "no tubes" I wonder... I know 3 people including myself that drive Martens with tubes.

I have the Piano Cera with Einstein's LITD hybrid. Based on an audition of my system, Bostonbean bought the Piano Diacera and drives them with a pair of Specton Musician's (latest versions in mono). Absolutely stunning and would have no problem recommending the Spectron in a stereo version.
