I will 2nd the Pass Labs X-250 recommendation, as I have speakers (MartinLogans) that 'appreciate a kind word' from an amp, while still needing bunches of SS dynamics & power to drive their difficult loads (down to 1.2ohms in the high frequencies at full punch).
I also like the Pass' balanced, differential, Zero-feedback design that keeps distortion under control during heavy transients.
