The Hegel 160 was stated in your link as having a somewhat forward sound. This would be the wrong characteristic for someone looking for a warm sound.
Warmer sounding Solid State
Having some technical issues with my Marantz PM8005 interferring with other gear in my setup. Sounds great with my Dali Oberon 5s though. Any other manufacturers make a solid state that has a “warmer” sound like the Marantz? Slightly rolled off highs, good midrange and full bass?
