Just to mention an alternative, I am using a Music Reference RM-200 with Cremona Auditors (originals not M). The RM-200 is a 100wpc hybrid amp that uses 4 KT88s in the output stage.
I use a Modwright 36.5 preamp and a Meridian G08 cdp. Soundstage is wide and deep. Voices are fantatic with a "you are there" quality. The combo is also a stand out with stringed as well as brass instruments.
The RM-200 gives up very little in bass impact to SS (e.g., Tricked-Out Odyssey Monoblocks). You may want to read the RM-200 review in Stereophile.
