Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

I never heard of audiophiles whose reference system had transistor amplification. It is always tubes. But maybe there are exceptions.

Hoping I can learn something. Yes I Believe you have an extremely awesome, very extremely awesome, System in a very very beautiful room. You could make a lot of money selling tickets to people for a visit to your room. How lucky for those people to be in your room and how lucky for you too.

Use tubes for the upper drivers and solid state mega power for bass drivers. This is a true reference system if done properly. What the hell is a reference system anyway. Does it mean it's better or just something you reference to for comparative purposes. My $2500 system is a reference system as anything I add to it makes it sound different allowing me too appreciate any changes made. If you have a really expensive system sometimes it's difficult to discern differences by swapping in and out components. And then of course the quality of the recording is another factor that makes it more complicated and speaks to the need for reference Music, which no one really talks about.
