Right now I'm in the market for a Stax SR-009(S) and I'm in the search for an amplifier to go with it. My issue is there are a lot of tube (valve)-based ones, and this is a deal-breaker for me. I'm not assuming those valve amplifiers measure bad (we just don't know), I just do not like valves and prefer the reliability and looks of solid-state gear. The question is, can you recommend an electrostatic amplifier that is SS based and measures good? Also, why aren't many measurements of these kind of amps and why so many are tube based?
I know valves can handle high voltages nicely and Stax makes their own amps, buy I would like to see more options in the market. Also, you can make high voltage SS circuits as well, so why not more?
