Warmer sounding Solid State

Having some technical issues with my Marantz PM8005 interferring with other gear in my setup.  Sounds great with my Dali Oberon 5s though.  Any other manufacturers make a solid state that has a “warmer” sound like the Marantz?  Slightly rolled off highs, good midrange and full bass?

I assume an integrated in the same price range (under $1k?).  Perhaps take a look at the NAD C 368.

Tweaks can only take you so far.  I too desired the warm, organic tube sound and ended up selling a Peachtree 150 in order to transition into tube gear.  If you want warm, tube-like sound you should get tubes instead of trying to "fix" your SS sound.
