John, thanks for confirming...

...what I've been hearing.

Prior to when I stopped comparing equipment in about 2001, I never heard a solid state amp I could live with for very long (I never heard yours).

They all seem to have an 'electromagnetic' coloration or upper mid grain - which never let me forget I was listening to a ss amp reproducing sound.

The last one I owned was a Pass X-350, which was the best ss amp I'd heard, except for the upper mid grain which eventually got to me.

Good tubes on the other hand sound to me like real music without those colorations and now that the best ones like ARC, VTL, Manley, etc. are reproducing bass and treble almost as good as the best ss, why compromise.
