What hybrid power amp?

Hmm, if you are willing to spend more money I would consider Blue Circle products. I think a better option still might be to get a decent tube pre-amp and a solid state power amp; you will be changing tubes less frequently and would have a myriad of options....

Another option is a modified Counterpoint SA-100/NP-100. See this link for info.

Thanks Pard for your recommendations. I've checked out Blue Circle BC24 & 28. I don't think the 24 comes with Balanced inputs, and the 28 looks great but is hard to find used. A pube pre matched with ss power amp is a great idea, but my intention is to connect my Wadia directly to the power amp's balanced in, and connect the front l&r from my preamp procesor to the power amp's single ended in. I think this will be a grat way to integrate quality 2 channel with a home theater system. I tried it this way with a Cary Rocket 88 tube amp, but the strange thing about that was that there's no real separation between it's balanced and single ended inputs...

I second the Counterpoints, especially the NPMs.

Kesh, the BC204 does come balanced - but it is pretty darn expensive. BC stuff is hard to find used too.
