IMHO,these amplifiers' toanal balances are on different ends of the spectrum.Both being slightly tilted:Classe up,Bat,down.Classe has always sounded SS-like.The Bat:warmer/fuller.YMMV.
There are a number of other contenders in this price range:Pass Aleph series/X-150.5/250.5,Gamut D200 series or possibly a Symphonic Line RG series unit.Read a few reviews and see if one of the others may spark your curiousity.
What is the rest of the system?
The Symphonic RG-4 may meet your preferences.It is warm and full-bodied,yet dynamic and punchy.The SL are one of my favorite SS amps.
