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 )

goodness i am surprised that no one has yet listed one of the greatest SS amps on the market, and it is a real bang for the buck.  that amp is the PS Audio BHK amp.   i have owned many amps over the years and this is the best ever.  Plus they build and service in Boulder.

greetings and let me say how sorry i am about the events you had to deal with.  I think losing my audio system would be the worst thing second only to losing my dogs.  How did  your physical music collection fair though all this?  Replacing one's cd or record collection would be even worse as there is so much work to acquiring it again.  Glad  you will be able to replace the gear.   good luck to you
@mysticriver. 

glad to hear it.   i too think it a no-brainer with the DSD DAC.  however because of the playback quality of cds through the DMP,  i have yet to go to ripping.   maybe some day.  I still have about 600 albums and a very old and lovely Oracle Delphi,  but never use it or play them.  need to sell them to someone who appreciate the analog stuff. 

anyway good luck with everything.  do you ever post on the ps forum as i think i may have seen your name there.
