Which SS amps sound like a tube amp?

I'm doing research to find a new amp to replace my Parasound HCA 3500. I'd like the tubey midrange but the virtues of SS in the bass. Biamping is not an option as my rack is quite full. I need at least 200 wpc and want to spend less than 2k used. I'm driving VMPS Supertower/R SE's. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

hi folks. carver amps or anything with the carver name on it is absolutly junk. there equipment looks very exspensive but what comes out sounds terrible. the only piece worth looking at is the silver 7.

You're getting a lot of useful feedback here. I've heard tube amps but only owned solid state, a bipolar and a mosfet. Honestly, I didn't hear similarities. If I were on this hunt I would take the feedback from here and go do a lot of auditioning.
