Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?


Have been a SET guy for so long I have forgotten what a good SS amp even sounds like.
Just bought a pair of $33k speakers that will replace my current $16k speakers. Both are from the same designer and both are 92db and a flat 8 ohms. The new ones arrive in 4 days!
My 300B based amps well drive my current speakers even though I do use the system nightly as a 2 channel home theater. Especially considering the HT usage, I think I may enjoy a SS amp with many times the horsepower. The speaker designer suggests using a Leema Hydra II. I have written to Leema telling them of my 300B preference and they assure me that their amp does not have the destructive harmonics that make a SS amp bright. There must be other SS amps that can satisfy?

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you. You’re in a very good place with your system.

It's always good to see a post from you. I'm glad you still have and are enjoying your Horning speakers. Do the S.I.T.-3  and Frankensteins clearly have a sonic advantage in any specific/particular way in direct comparison with each other?

If that's his conclusion,  so be it  for him. Not even remotely close to my listening experiences. Horses for courses once again. 

+1 @david_ten. I guess we hear similarly 😊.
