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?

Thank you for your post mentioning the m2tech Crosby amp. I recently got one and my friend also has one and we recently attempted to connect them as bridged following the user guide directions, but without success. I switched both amps to bridged, connected the preamp (also a m2tech Young preamp) to each amps red input, and connected the speaker leads for each channel to their red outputs per the instructions. Result, no sound.


Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks
