SS Amp for natural vocals


I would like to find a solid state amp that does vocals really well. One that gives you that real sounding, in the room sound. I have a c-j 17LS2 preamp and Dali Helicon 400 speakers, which can do this reasonably well. Now I need an amp that can bring vocalists into my room. Thanks.

My former Pass X350 had wonderful, fleshed-out, liquid,
rounded, alive vocals.

It replaced an Aragon 8008, with no other
changes in the system (in fact I A-B'd them back and forth), and found the difference in vocals dramatic.
The speakers were Aerial 10T's. They sounded like new speakers. This was both for male & female singers (John Lennon, Jim Croce, Diana Ross, Carly Simon).
The Pass runs very hot, though.

I now use an Edge NL12.1 which I am very happy with for vocals (and has much better bass than the Pass).
I never heard the Pass X350.1, but people here say the bass has improved.
