How about Revel Gem Amplification?

Currently, I am using a CJ Premier 11a and have been considering two completely different paths - vertically biamping the Gems with another 11a, or going a monoblock SS route (perhaps the Edge G8+?). Reason for the switch (avoid the uncertainty with tubes, aging, microphonics, etc, and hoping for an ss that is at least as enjoyable - why is this so elusive?) Suggestions, especially from those familiar with this speaker would be great.

If anyone has compared the Gems to the new Wilson Audio Duette monitors - please comment.

Oh, I am also using a Revel B15a sub, active Placette preamp, and Simaudio Eclipse CDP, with Harmonic Technology Prosilway IIIs all around (well, almost), HT Pro 9 biwire speaker cable, and Shunyate Hydras and PCs. Thanks for the help.
