Solid State amps with 'presence'

I made a bit of a bish... The Karan is new and going for £2800 not £1800! still an amazing deal considering they are £4500 new!

I checked with my friend, it seems my memory rounds prices down!

 

Thanks again DL, I guess I always thought it would probably need to be valves.
My list of options now looks like this;

Air Tight ATM-1S All tube 36 ish watts
EAR 834T SS
CJ CAV50 (s/h) All Tube 50 watts

I know the EAR 834T is SS but it is one of the few amps that has proved easy to get a home demo of.
The Air Tight is somewhat over budget but again I can get a home demo.
I keep wondering about the CAV50 mainly because of the reasonable S/H prices! Would it be too warm and rosey?

Are there any other amps with 35-50 quality valve watts?

 

loads and loads mate.

how deep are your pockets?

The Canary Gotham's here are good value at 4k, but thats still a lot of dough!

Here they are in america - and the same price used - so a good price from Kevin here.

Dont buy them , jealousy is very ugly..

 

Moderately, up to £3-4K but for integrated or pre power complete, preferably integrated due to space limitations.

Is that 8 x 300B's? That won't cost much come re-valve time!

 

Anyone got any thoughts on this;

Anyone know the minimum impendence of the Dulcets?

To answer my own question, 5.2 ohm.
