I picked up an Onkyo TX-2500 MKII that sounded like my tube amp. I was actually stunned. Any other and hopefully newer SS gear sounds like a quality tube amp? Tube amps usually have a natural sound and lots of detail with high clarity.
Another vote for checking out a Hybrid. I have a hybrid preamp using 12au7’sand mono blocks using 6922’s so I can tube roll and get the sound I like. Oh and MOSFET output transistors sound less SS and more tube like.
