My choice would be either Halcro DM38 (to be released soon) or if you can swing it a pair of Halcro Dm58 monos ...my taste that these are the absoultly the best SS amps.
Using Symphonic Line RG-7 (150w@8 ohm) and like sound of having almost tubes. Considering going back to tubes and the Grand Marquis is one I want to listen hear. Speakers on my short list are Kharma 1's, Alon's and Avalon's (87-90 db) units. Whats the problem or is it just the "hobby bug" to try something else?
While auditioning speakers i used a 60 watt Pass labs aleph amp (don't remember the number) and an ARC VT100 mk II tube amp. The pass sounded good but didn't have the air or refinement on top that the tube amp had. The difference in bass handling was not noticable between the two amps though admittedly the ARC had more power. I went VTL and don't think i'll ever change except to maybe bigger VTL
