HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound

I am very much into tube amplifiers, but it seems that they need alot more maintenance than SS amps do. Is there an amp out there that will get a good tube sound, but with low maintenance of an SS amp? I am working on my budget and I will probably spend about 2500 for it. I already have a tube pre-amp that I like, a Zen ZTPRE, and does a good job for my needs.

You will of course have to buy used since they are no longer made. There is a company here that sells the last of the Aleph 30s with 30% off.

I have the Aleph 30 and it is wonderful, thoroughly recommended if you can live with the limited power. At the present price you could by two and bi-amp, but this depends on your speakers. See Dick Olsher's review on enjoythemusic.com.
