Can the AVM 6.2 or Pass INT-60 replace my LM845P?

Hi, I would like to have a more simple system. One I can play all day without thinking about expensive tubes (:

I have the LM 845 Premium, a VERY good amplifier.

But I would like to have a more down to earth amp.

I have investigated integrated SS amps and have found the AVM 6.2ME and the Pass INT-60.

Unfortunately I will not be able to listen to any of them before buying, so I ask the brain trust for advice.

Will I be a sad man if I sell my tube amp and replace it with one of the suggested amps?

It's working out very well.

The 4 ohm Tektons may actually sound very good with the Pass amp as the amp does a really good job doubling output into 4 ohms. I have the LM805 and would never sell it - I simply bought a Class A SS amp for streaming - but @audiotroy is correct, it’s just not the same sonic experience - which is why I keep both amps.
