Warmer sounding Solid State

Having some technical issues with my Marantz PM8005 interferring with other gear in my setup.  Sounds great with my Dali Oberon 5s though.  Any other manufacturers make a solid state that has a “warmer” sound like the Marantz?  Slightly rolled off highs, good midrange and full bass?

Would speaker cables help with this top end brittleness too?  I am currently using a some 12awg 99.95% Oxygen free cable that I put banana ends on.  Not the best, but not the worst either.

I've heard the expensive Marantz quite a bit , I would buy the 5K ones if they lowered the price to 500 bucks .

@10000_hz_legend  saod" @bpoletti Warmer sounding because my speakers have a bit of gain in the upper registers.  I am looking for a power option that will balance them out."

Sounds like it would be better to get new speakers rather than to mask one problem with another.

You could try an eq like the Schiit Loki. I hear it's pretty transparent and it's only 150 bucks.
