Pass Labs XA30.5 and ModWright KWA150

I also agree with some posters here that Pass amps don't really sound tube-like (I had a 250.5 though, not the XA series)

The SS amp that sounds like tubes to me is McIntosh.

The XA is a bit more tube like compared to th eX series.

you are looking into "the most "tube-like" SS amps " then you MUST check Spectron amplifier !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I owned a number of tube amps and the last was a McIntosh ...but no comparison with Spectron.

As a Spectron owner, it is not tube.

I have owned McIntosh MC 501, it's far from a good tube amp.

Bottom line, tube rules. I am keeping my BAT 150SE.

I've not understood the need for a low-powered SS amp. If my speakers just needed 30 watts, I'd get a tubed amp.
