I'm not familiar with the Gallos but I owned the c-j CA200. I would not describe it as warm. It did have a very nice sound though. I would describe it as "sweet" (that's not an official audiophile term). I think that resulted from very good high frequency reproduction.
The 2500A is more of a warm amp. Some people claim the 2250A sounds even better but I have no proof that that's true. In any case, these c-js are well regarded amps and if you're doing the buy and try method of assembling a system (many of us are) the c-js are as good a place to start as any.
Dopogue's suggestion to consider tube amps is something to think about too.
