Need SS amp rec for Hovland HP 100 pre

Currently using Audio Reasearch VS 110 & Bryston 4BSST with good result. I like the sweet, airy, lively presentation of the tube but also like the snap, detail, control of a 300W SS amp. Is there a SS amp that can get the best of both worlds? Thanks. I think I need the input impedance to be higher than 40K Ohm.

I didn't look up your system to see what your speakers were but, Hovland makes a pretty good SS amp. I am using a 4 channel Theta Dreadnaught in a vertical bi-amp configuration with a Hovland pre and it seems to work fine.
I would think any of the Jeff Rowland amps would also be a good match.
