Solid State watts to power Zu Defintions?

Odyssey Khartego, Pass Aleph

I've tried to find a solid state amp that sounds great with the Definitions and I've tried every topology you can think of including class A, a/b, D, chip amps, and First Watt. I wish I had all that time and money back. Tubes are a pain in the you know what but the right direction in my opinion. However, a few suggestions happy owners have expressed fondness for McIntosh and Butler amps with them. Sean Casey really likes the Bryston 2b which you can pick up for peanuts.

I have no experience with the Definitions, but like David I have tried numerous examples from virtually every topology--but on my Soul Superflys.

I've tried Firstwatts, Alephs, Class Ds, Class Ts, but what is really standing out and kicking some serious ass is a Redgum Audio RGi120 that I'm borrowing from a friend while my 845 SET is temporarily down.

I almost declined to borrow it as I didn't expect it to fill the void of my Shindo/845 combo, but this little Australian integrated is damn near perfect for my tastes. Sweet, dynamic, clean, liquid and really, really friggin' engaging. I don't know that its completely linear and the bass may be tipped up just a tad, but in a very pleasing, super-engaging way.

Tomorrow I'm taking delivery of a pair of Pavane 845-Ts to bring my monoblocks back to life and once they have broken in I'll have to do some serious a/bing and soul searching to see if I really need more then this Redgum to keep me happy.

Interestingly, the Redgum with its passive volume control doesn't seem to like to be used behind a preamplifier. Its happier alone than driven by my minimax or shindo auregies l.

A distant second in solid state for me were borrowed Pass Alephs driven by a nice tube amp.

Electrocompaniet amps are sweet and so musical.
