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

@jasonbourne71 and @vinylfan62  I agree on the Bedini 25/25. I have one and personally knew John and Gary Bedini. When I asked for a more powerful Bedini, John and Gary both told me to keep the 25/25 as it was their most musical of amps. I love mine and want to keep it until I die. It is an Amp over watts dual mono class A that makes speakers come alive and SOUNDS live, where other amps seem lifeless (lacking in musical presence). Sadly, mine needs repair, and both John and Gary have passed away. Know of anyone who can restore a Bedini 25/25 to its original Bedini magic? I have tried local shops in Las Vegas, and the sound just got worse (lost its transparency and detail in the bass). I bought mine in 1981 for $800 and it was a great purchase then and still. Would love to have it serviced to Factory Spec or or buy another in Mint condition.

Hello dhcod!  Try the New Starke Fiera4. It is voiced to sound like a tube amp.got mine today and it is fine indeed. I have six of the precious version and tis one is better. There wasn't much to improve, that's why I have six of the older version! It not a lightweight in any sense of the word. They do have a return policy. And its not one of those $10,000+ amps. Try it, you can't lose much other than a little time.

Enjoy the music.

I wanted the warmth of tubes with the bass definition of solid state and discovered the Pass Labs Aleph 5, which I have enjoyed for many years now. It does bass and space.

I love Lamm M1.2 Reference monoblocks.  Nice amps. 

@lefever : you might contact Will Vincent (autospec) in Idaho. He knew the Bedini brothers. Will builds tube amps and might have knowledge/experience repairing the 25/25. Mine alas is no longer working after I ran it 24/7 for nine years with the Quad 57's.
