So here’s what I am up against. 
I want / need that tube goodness in my sound but must also have that SS grip, bass control, transparency and image precision.


Have been looking and trying for the right amp and/or Pre combo mix.
SS alone doesn’t get me there - need that tubeness that only tubes can offer but I only want a little or just enough of that tube goodness.

What I also need just as much or even more is that SS transparency and their hold and tightness and precision. My speakers are not hard to drive but still tube amps are too loose - too wide and soft. Not enough specificity and SS is missing something as well. That natural, real closeness only tubes offer. I need the right blend. 
If I was to guess the sound would be say 83% SS and 17% tubes. Transparency, grip, precision and control is so important to me but then bathed in just the right amount of enough tubeness to just hit the nail right on the head. Yes it’s a tough and picky ask. 

The tube sounding SS gear Pass and Soulution doesn’t get me there. 
SS amps and Tube preamp have not got me there. Each time I tried a different combo I ended up liking my DAC direct over the tube preamp and that of course was not getting me. 
My speakers are pretty easy to drive Focal Sopra 2. I love these. They are bright, tight and raw. Their brightness needs to be tamed with a musical and warmish sounding source and warmish sounding sounding amp/Pre combo. 
My source is a Bricasti M1SE DAC / built in Roon End Point Ethernet Streamer and Preamp all in one. I love the Sopra 2 because they act like monitors with bass. They have the transparency and precision like a monitor. I liked better then Sopra 3 that is more like an excellent floorstander then imitating a monitor with bass. I like Sopra 2 better then my former Magico S5 MKII I had before also. I’ve learned over time what I like and what is most important to me. Extension, speed, transparency, image and sound precision and I don’t need all world bass slam but enough decent bass to do the music justice. Monitor can’t do this without subs but I also need coherence which is so important to the precision and transparency. That is why subs don’t work for me and Sopra 3 or S5 MKII didn’t work also. The Sopra 2 is a monitor lovers dream with monitor like everything but better dynamics and bass but I regress.  With all of this said I’m thinking maybe this LAMM M1.2 can pull off what I’m hoping for and if anyone has any info or similar situation would love some advise, feedback or comments. 
Thanks for the time and help !!!!!

Audio Research Reference 160 Monoblock, Reference 250SE Monoblock or McIntosh MC2301 Monoblock. Hard to beat in there price range 
Yes those ARC REF series mono’s are great amps but much higher price then the amps I was considering and pure tube amps, even the big boys don’t seem to get me where I’m trying to go. 
That real grippy, tight controlled bottom and upper bottom with speed and Uber precision with that dead balls on pointness that really good SS does in its sleep I think we take for granted until we listen to a pure tube amp that is. Even the great tube amps that come close are still are missing part of that. 
Everything is bigger and wide and rounder and fatter and a bit more diffuse even with the excellent all tube amps. 
I guess I’m a hybrid guy because I need both and just won’t give that part up but also must have at least some / enough of what only tubes can provide. I started with SS and then when went over to tubes. I could not believe how I ever lived without tubes then moved up to really really good SS and just could not believe how I could love tubes and then well... Ended up wanting more then even great SS and spent some time with Ypsilon Hybrid and realized that’s it. It’s a tube lovers solid state amp or a solid state lovers tube amp or better yet it’s nails everything I need about SS while providing enough tubes to satisfy that need and all while being the best sounding amp I’ve ever heard. That is why I’m scowling the planet for one.  
The Mac’s? I’ve not heard those Macs you named. Not those particular amps but the ones I have heard just didn’t really seem to be something I wanted. 
@ fsmithjack,

I first heard Ypsilonn components at the 2011 CES and was immediately impressed and found them to be special. I’ve heard them a few times since then and my opinion hasn’t changed. For what they do and what you’re seeking I doubt that you’ll find complete satisfaction with the other well meaning recommendations posted here. Very fine amplifiers in their own right but not the Ypsilon gestalt you have had first hand exposure with.

Some really like Ypsilon/Lansche match. Stage III cabling. Different sound. Different from, say, Lamm/Kharma with Purist cabling or from D'Adostino/Wilson with Transparent cabling.
