need good solid state amp to match my tube preamp


I would appreciate some recommendations!

I currently have a ARC LS25 tube preamp, and a BAT VK55 tube amp. I want to sell the BAT, and get a solid state amp to replace it. The reason is, I need to make my system child friendly! The exposed tubes in the BAT and many tube amps are a burn hazard for the little ones. Of course I can get an ARC Reference 110 with the tubes neatly tucked away, but I cannot afford that.

I am looking to sell my $5000 msrp amp and get another $5000 msrp amp. This means I am looking to spend about $2500 and hopefully sell my BAT for a similar price.

So far, the amps from Jeff Rowland caught my eye. the models 10, 112, and 201 monos are all in the price range.

Any advice out there? Specifically for having the tube preamp, and a solid state amp?

thank you!

Conrad Johnson MF-2500-A 240 WPC,Very powerful amp,yet it can do delicate too!I had one and had to sell it a few years ago due to financial reasons.Still regreting that decision! They come up used fairly regular,or call Spirit,bought mine there.Great service.Leans to the warm side slightly.Soundstage filled my room,went beyond the walls,very 3-D .
I should add that my CJ MF2500A was used with a tube preamp,Supratek Chardonnay.
