RE: Opinions on SS integrated amps, please list and rank them

I owned the Yamaha S2000. It was a nice amp but lacking a little sparkle and oomph. I traded it in for the new Yamaha S2100. It's far superior to my ears. It solved my two issues with its predecessor. The things I like about this newer version are: tone is realistic; the amp can go from a very quiet passage to a loud one with ease and startling dynamics; the background is dead silent, the bass is strong and punchy and oh did I mention the realistic tone.
The amp retails for more than you would like to spend, $3500 but you may be able to get discount or a demo model.

It's hard to believe the Yamaha S3000, priced at $7000 can be twice as good as the S2100; but I've not heard the S3000.
