Personal amp evolution

For me it started with a Scott 299 intergrated amp, this is how I discovered tubes. After I decided that they were for me, it was on to the SET world. So than came the Antique Sound Labs 2A3 Orchid SET, I was hooked instantly.
Next I moved into deeper water with a Sophia Electric 300B power amp, and here is where I am now and will be for along time.

Techniques receiver 2yrs
Denon 350 W Amp 2 yrs
McCormack DNA .5 5 yrs
Pass Aleph 2 6 yrs and counting

Over the past 25 or so years, I have had
several systems, the power amps from first
to now were:

Kenwood Integrated (model?)
SAE 2100
Marantz PM80
DENON PMA2400
Parasound HCA1000(still have)
Forte Model 5 (borrowed amp from pal, buying
one for myself).

The speakers have all been dynamic two way
mini monitors.

Anybody have opinions on comparative sound
quality between the last two amps? I'm still
trying to decide...

I started in 1975 with a Sears Roebuck receiver. In 1977 I purchased a Japanese solid state integrated amp. In 1990 I purchased a B&K ST-140 solid state amp, used various pre-amps with it. In 1993 I bought a Nobis Proteus Pre-amp and Signature 45 wpc tube amp. In 2002 I bought a Magnum Dynalab MD-308 solid state integrated amp which I just sold. In 2007 I bought a JoLida JD1000RC 100wpc tube amp. I have been searching for a long time, for that "liquid midrange". My speaker evolution is even worse in this search.
