Favorite SS Amp?

And the search continues. I am always looking for better. I currently have a pair of Dali Euphonia MS-4's which I love. I am using a Sherbourn 7/2100 which is a fine amp but not exactly what I am looking for. Ideally I am looking to go back to just 2 channel. Based on size and WAF constraints, I am limited to a stereo amp that will be in a cabinet so heat will be a consideration, although the bottom shelf could conceivably have 5-6 inches above it for heat dissipation if I went to a Class A amplifier. Budget is a consideration. Really not looking to spend much over 3-4K used. High current and respectable power would be a plus. Sonic signature is very important and big soundstage as well. Thanks in advance for all of your good input.

Good Listening,

I've had an Ayre V-5x for about 1 1/2 years & have to mention up front that I have it for sale, so this isn't a sales offer. Anyway, it's the best stereo amp I've had, period. Plenty of power & current for my VR4 GenIII's to play louder than you want yet smooth enough to play at the lowest possible setting.

I'd also suggest Pass, as you can't go wrong with their products.

Just as a follow-up, I'd like to say I decided to keep my Ayre V-5x but I am looking for a different pre.
