Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K?

Hello

I'm looking for thoughts on solid state amps around $1000 which have XLR & SE inputs... around 100 wpc or so.. and a balanced presentation.... and not real old.

Is there such a thing?

Usage is likely 50/50 music/HT... and as a back up amp for main system. So long as it doesn't have tendencies which stick out like a sore thumb, and is something one can listen to for extended periods... that'll probably do just fine.

Ideas?

I second Jmcgrogan2 suggestion of Odyssey Audio; also the man behind the scene Klaus.

Adcom 5802 300 watt powerhouse that runs in class A under normal listening. It is a 50 pound beast. It was just recently discontinued from its 1998 introduction. Lots of positive reviews.This was part of a high end endeaver using a Nelson Pass design. Used around $850. Can't do much better for the dollar!!

I'd go for a McCormack DNA 0.5 personally.

Here's another vote for the Odyssey Stratos. You might even find an Extreme version around that price range.
