HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound

I am very much into tube amplifiers, but it seems that they need alot more maintenance than SS amps do. Is there an amp out there that will get a good tube sound, but with low maintenance of an SS amp? I am working on my budget and I will probably spend about 2500 for it. I already have a tube pre-amp that I like, a Zen ZTPRE, and does a good job for my needs.

You really don't need to spend near that much to get excellent performance. May I suggest an Audio Research D200
amp for around a $1,000.00 and then send it to Great Northern Sound for upgrades and 'shu-bang', reference performance for under $1,500.00. This is no joke!
