pardon my ignorance

What exactly is ICE (I know all about class D) and how is it not solid state? To say it differs from bipolar transistors in Darlington pairs is one thing, but to say it's not solid state is another. If it isn't solid state, what the hell is it?

BTW I agree with your statement completely. I thought the whole ICE & class D thing was about efficiency which is the polar opposite from class A. I can appreciate that these technologies have progressed and fine amps are now being constructed around them, but that doesn't make the old tried and true amps suddenly obsolete (especially not due to the way they sound). If I were you, I don't think I'd have any desire to replace the Pass!
