Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp?


I currently own a Modwright preamp and a Pass Labs X150 amp. I really enjoy these components but, I wish the Pass amp had more warmth in my system. What amps have the warmth of tubes but are as detailed and as controlled as this Pass amp. I can't afford the .5 series of Pass amps. I previously had a CJ MF-200 amp and PV-11 preamp in my system, which was much warmer, but not as clean and detailed. I'm looking to spend about $2K used. Thanks!

ARC 100.2: Refined, detailed, awesome presence, easy to listen too. Warm... tube like....? Not sure too subjective... but it's the best solid state for my system (Dynaudio 1.8 MK II, LS-15 pre, Marantz 8001, AZ cabling). I used to have DNA 0.5, DNA 0.5 dlx rev B,DNA 225 stock.
For me, in my house, with my music, walls and ears, the 100.2 beats them all hands down at everything.
The ARC 100.2 is a masterpiece at the retail asking price, and a serious value on the used market.

Has any one considered using two, but each modified for mono? This would be a useful setup for difficult speakers. Just a thought.

Happy hunting!
