Opinions on SS amps

Hi there,
I am really just doing research and gathering opinions of the knowledgable crowd here at the 'gon.

Some day I'll move up the line of focal speakers, probably to the alto (91dB) for a more involving sound than my current 1007be monitors. Of course with that, I would eventually want to try some of the more acclaimed "musical" class A SS amps.

Right now, pass labs XA series, dartzeel, and the Rowland 302 are on my radar as having reputations of being very musical. I am sure there are others I must be missing. Suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. As well, if anybody has come across a great combintion (ss or tube) with any of the focal utopia line, those suggestions would also be invaluable.

Thanks for your time,
Peter

Metralla; Herve's next product will likely be an integrated amp; which would likely be something like what you suggest. i don't know any details; but i hope he can find a way to include battery power on the pre circut and use the same volume control circut.

hopefully this would get dart performance in the hands of lots more music lovers.

i have no idea on the time frame; only that it is being considered.
