B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use??

I love my Conrad Johnson CAV 50 tube amp, but it's just
not enough for the 801's at 45 W/PC.
Sad day, but I will need more power. Any thoughts on
a good high power SS amp that may (just wishing) have close
sonic quality's to the CJ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had those very speakers. I had good results with the following amps. Aragon 8008BB - (probably won't sound as you want.)
Krell KSA 250 - Great stuff! Krell FPB 400cx - GREATER stuff!!. I would say go with a "Class A" amp 250 wpc or better (depending on the size of your room) and it will drive them nicely.
good luck.
