HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound

I've run tubes and solid state on some of the most revealing speakers ever made. I always strive for clarity, extension, and smoothness. For solid state (all used), Rowlands and Plinius, are very smooth and rich sounding. The Pass X-150 (I just sold one) is more lean, but excels in clarity and extension, plus dynamics.

Don't we all!!!

Swampwalker, I read that last comment on Xmas eve while taking a respite between making batches of hand made chocolate chip cookies for friends. Wish I knew where to send yours because that one comment says a mouthful! Thanks for putting it so well and so succinctly.

Merry Xmas to everyone. Thanks for all the education and help in making my trip down audio lane such a pleasant stroll these last few years.

Consider Belles(Power Modules), Llano, Pass Labs, Ayre.

There are a lot of solid state amps on the market in this category. I would look at Classe or Lamm. Pass Labs amps have more of a solid state sound.
