SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?


I'm thinking of trying out a solid state amp in place of my 300B SET, which is giving me some problems again and the builder is swamped so it's going to be awhile.

Suggestions? Speakers are 96dB 12" 2-way bass reflex studio monitors from a Japanese recording studio.

There are some very good Chinese copy Dartzeel NHB108 amplifiers for around 1000 USD.Mine sounds superb and I will not be going back to a SET again.Used in combination with my Supatek tube preamp it is the best sound I have ever had.

The Bakoon amps are also fantastic and pretty SET like.

@soix +1. That’s where I’d look for a low-watt, Class A, solid state amp.

I run two SET systems, one with 300B tubes one with 2A3. The SS amp that I love, and which delivers almost all the delicacy and tonality that I enjoy in those tube amps, is the Reference Line Silver Signature I bought new in 1999. 100w of Class A into 8 ohms, 200 into 4. It continues to amaze.

I liked my Pass XA60.8s (now gone) but they weren't quite as good as my PSET 300B monoblocks.
