While anything but inexpensive, AVA's hybrid power amps are excellent. They are costly, but not "insanely" so. I own an early version FET-Valve and its voice is quite similar to that of my "McShaned" H/K Cit. 2.Also, 2 Canadian "name" brands: Bryston and Classe are good sounding and not hideously expensive. Bryston's warranty is very lengthy. They would not offer said warranty, if they knew it would have to be frequently honored. ;>)
