I had them and they were Excellent. I didn’t mention it above as they are considered a Hybrid. My curiosity has me wondering if there is any S/S in class A/B that can top it.

Very well said. I currently have a Audio Research Refrence 160S which I strongly believe is the Finest Tube Amplifier Ever Made! You described  it to the T.

"It has to do with dynamic expression and micro dynamic expression as tied to linearity of devices. Tubes inherently have it and the only solid state devise that is linear"

I was curious as what is the best of the best in s/s class A/B only due to the heat class A  and tube amps deliver and my curiosity.

Thanks again.
