Thanks all for the suggestions so far. Very interesting!
The Lyngdorf sounds interesting but I am skeptical of do-it-all devices promising to solve all room issues and weighing less than 20 lbs. I would love to audition one but to take a leap like this against all assumptions I have in my head is a difficult thing. That said, I will look into it and see if I can get an audition somewhere. I live in Minneapolis-St. Paul area so I will need to search to find out if any local dealers carry this product. Also, I take it this is a class D amp? I currently own a Primare I32 integrated, which is class D, and while I like it when playing digital sources, I really don't like the sound when playing records. I should have mentioned that I primarily play vinyl in my system, with the occasional CD thrown in for good measure.
Other SS amp I owned was the Rega Elicit 3. Really didn't like that one. It was probably just not a good match to my other components but it just never sounded anything but clinical in it's sound. I traded it in for a Cary SLI-80 integrated and fell in love with tubes from that point on.
