Krell, the Vanguard Digital is phenomenal with incredible soundstaging, dynamics, timbre and detail. What surprises me is the wonderful midrange and tube like expression in the mid to lower registers. It has won my heart over more so than anything I’ve owned or heard.
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
Speaker interactions aside, what solid state amp brands/designers tend to have a fuller sound these days? Not necessarily warm or tubey per se, but fleshed out in the upper bass and harmonically complete in the midrange, as opposed to lean. E.g. an Australian ME Sound amp I have from a while back has this quality, without sounding overtly warm.
Obvious candidates: Pass, Luxman. What else?
Cost no object, feel free to throw out one-liners. Think of it as a poll. (Please don't answer tubes though, thanks. :D )
