switching from Tubes to SS


I am thinking of making the switch. I would welcome your opinions on a SS amp (either stereo or mono blocks)

My setup is as follows

Wadia 861 Cd Player
First Sound Pre amp
ProAc Response 5 speakers
Fim Cables
Hydra PLC

Thank you in advance

Please explain what is motivating you to make this change. Is there something "wrong" with your current setup that you think a solid state amp would correct? As a point of comparison, what is your current amp?
Brad, if you're happy, then why change anything? You have what appears to be a tremendous sounding system. At your current level, it is actually easier to screw-up your system then it is to make it better by substituting equipment. If you haven't already done it, you might want to invest in a serious equipment rack and try to address isolation issues.

Also, have you tried running the Wadia directly into the power amps?
