Matching with Audio Note speakers

I hope there will be interest in this question. I've recently learned by reading about the wonderful capacity these speakers have for breathing life into music reproduction. I know generally that it is recommended to match them with SET amps, particularly to realize their full potential in midrange reproduction. I'm interested if anyone has had good results with solid state amplification. I'm using Herron electronics (with Spendor speakers) and would like to know thoughts about the AN speakers as a reasonable upgrade?

Yes I am a recent convert. Previous SS amps have been mostly Naim and Creek. This amp IMO is better than those by a good deal.
BTW, AN speakers did not sound their best with Naim, not bad, just not as good as Creek and LFD. They both use Mosfets, maybe a common factor in the sound with AN speakers.

I have a pair of Audio Note ANK-Spe monitors. They sound great with a Creek destiny amp.

Checking back in on this thread.
I am using an LFD Zero MKIII amp right now. Audio Note Ks sound fabulous with this amp, maybe better than with Audio Note OTO.
