Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?

My system is feeling pretty tube-y and I was looking for suggestions of a solid state amps that people are liking with their original Quad ESLs. Looking for more speed and more of the bass I know the Quads can put out if set up right.

If a pair of low-watt Pass amps are too rich for your blood, the old Bedini 25/25 is considered one of the all-time best ss amps for the Quad. They show up from time to time, the last one I saw selling for $795 here on Audiogon.

If you haven't done so already I highly recommend removing the metal screens. It's shocking how much of a (negative) impact the screens make.

I don’t have the screens since I build different, much sturdier and heavier frames.
Also removed the felt form the bass panels.
