What's the better, High Powered SS Amp?

Anyone have experience comparing high powered solid state amps?
What's best in driving inefficient speaker's such as mbl's etc...

McIntosh 1201's
Simaudio Moon Rocks
Pass Labs X600 or X1000's
Classe Omega's
Any other's?......

other than mbl amps.

What's most important to me is dynamics, resolution and lack of grain especially at the treble region. I listen to jazz, vocals, acoustic music most of the time.

Need a bit more system information, but given your priorities I would recommend Boulder's current offerings and the Classe Omega. Neither is fatiguing for SS and both have the characteristics you described. Good luck!

I gave up on solid state, after my last one, the Pass X-600. I have found much better performance with the new technology of the H2O Signature monos. They weigh a third as much, never get warm, let alone hot, draw just 10 watts at idle, and have brought my system to a point where I feel I can touch the performers.
