Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new

I would go for a XA30.5. Even for a 30watt class A it is a lot better than the 150.5. Musical fidelity is an almost 2 dimensional sound. I did shows for MF in the past and I owned the best stuff they have. Pass labs is superior in 3d imaging compared to MF. I had the 150.5 for some time to test. I was not convinced. XA30.5 is so much better. And control is quite good. 150.5 does not have more control. As you would expect!!

You can't beat Class A!

You can't bear Class A, same advice my power company gave me.

The Pass XA30.5 will cost about $3500 used, and $15/mo in electricity, if left on 24/7.

IMO a much superior amp, to any other choice, for $3500 used, after owning one.

The XA-30.5 is awesome for the money. No competition!
