Mosfets: The way to go for SS amplification?


OK, why? Advantages and drawbacks? I've done a "search" here and elsewhere and not gotten a good answer as to why it may be superior to JFET, for example. And, are balanced ics the "only" way to go for Mfs...if so, why? Thanks in advance (and may Santa leave a pair of Plasmatronic spkrs. under your tree).

My understanding is that generally MOSFETs have a tendency to have sweeter, warmer, even darker characteristics than other transistors. The potential downside of MOSFETs is that they can be attributed to a slightly more polite or recessed midrange.

Balanced connections seem favorable to me in my system as they appear to provide a wider range of macro-dynamics. Perhaps this perception is due to the increased voltage generally associated with balanced connections. But this may not always be the case.
