I have heard several hybrid and SS amps with transistor output stages, and I don't like them, because they all are very forward to my ears. They are also, as a rule, crystal clear.

I think it's preference dependent. My favorite two head amps were/are OTL (Single Power MPX3 Slam SE) and SET(DNA Stratus). I also have liked the Eddie Current amps I have listened to.

These amps are/were in a much higher price class. But many of the new transistor output amps are quite affordable, as your case indicates.
