Mosfet amps in general have a "softer" sound when it comes to detail/micro dynamics - a slight haze or glow if you will. Don't confuse this with lack of grip or bass slam, because this their calling card. For the type of listening/music you like, a Adcom in good condition would be good. At a budget of < $750 I would skip the 555, 545, 5400 and go stright to a 5802 or 5500. There are plenty of 5500's (200 wpc) out there from $450-$650. You should be able to find a good 5802 (300 wpc) for $700-$800. Some others in your price range worth considering are; Odyssey Khartago (110 wpc) for $895 NEW, Marsh A400, Bryston 3B or 4B, and Rotel 1080 or 1090. Happy hunting.
