SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp


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.

You can simulate a tube amp through speaker modification.

Put a low value, high wattage resistor in series with the woofer to kill the damping and put a small cap (~2-3 mfd) in parallel with the tweeter to roll off the highs.
