SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?


I'm thinking of trying out a solid state amp in place of my 300B SET, which is giving me some problems again and the builder is swamped so it's going to be awhile.

Suggestions? Speakers are 96dB 12" 2-way bass reflex studio monitors from a Japanese recording studio.

Hello dhcod!  Try the New Starke Fiera4. It is voiced to sound like a tube amp.got mine today and it is fine indeed. I have six of the precious version and tis one is better. There wasn't much to improve, that's why I have six of the older version! It not a lightweight in any sense of the word. They do have a return policy. And its not one of those $10,000+ amps. Try it, you can't lose much other than a little time.

Enjoy the music.

I wanted the warmth of tubes with the bass definition of solid state and discovered the Pass Labs Aleph 5, which I have enjoyed for many years now. It does bass and space.

@lefever : you might contact Will Vincent (autospec) in Idaho. He knew the Bedini brothers. Will builds tube amps and might have knowledge/experience repairing the 25/25. Mine alas is no longer working after I ran it 24/7 for nine years with the Quad 57's.
