YBA 2 amp+Sonus Faber Electa Amator?

Hi
My system comprises Audio Research LS7 pre and VT50 amp + Sonus Faber Electa Amator+ Gravis sub. I want to keep the valves (wich I love) but I´m told I should try solid state to fully explore the SF capabilyties. Do you think YBA 2 amp (not HC version) could be such an amp? Any experience and/or sugestions? I hear from classic to electronic.
Thanks

The YBA Passion integrated was one of the best matches with my SF EAIIs if not one of the best integrated I ever had the pleasure of listening too. With that said, the I have no idea how the current YBA offerings compare.

Ruidorosa, I have heard the YBA 1 and the YBA 1 HC with SF Amati's. The amps are excellent and mate very well with these speakers. However, I think that the SF's do generally prefer tube amps to ss amps. What don't you like about your current VT50?

Hi Daveyf
I do love my VT50 and will never let it go (well, maybe if I could get a VT100...). Only I would like to experience a ss power, adding one.

The YBA 2 power I have on offer has 70W but I don´t know if it will have enough current to show me some more off the Electas Amator. I can´t find nothing on this subject.
