SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ?

OK ... What sub $2000 ( new or used ) amps would be considered on the detailed, clear, and revealing side of things instead of warm and euphonic ? MUST be high current solid state with tight controlled bass.

You've got plenty of good suggestions so far... make sure that the speaker you plan to use is designed for transistors, if not the amplifier may have trouble making bass impact. Good luck!

Compared to the Cary tube amp I just replaced them with, they are not warm, but moreso than brystons i just heard recently. these amps are very listenable however. for sale, if interested send me a PM.
