    There are lots of experienced smart people here. Most of them have strong opinions. Why not have a SS guide broken up into tiers like cheap, mid fi and expensive. Unfortunately not all audio folks like to mess with tubes so do not include hybrids although they are more SS to me than tube amps. The amp is still SS. Just a thought since you have some tube amp recommendations.
