Crikey,
I will take you up on not posting.... if that is your desire. I do hope you allow me a final post, shame I thought I'd stumbled across an interesting site, but no matter.
For clarity I did not drive either the S5 or S2 with a SS amp other than a quick try with a KSA 50, all other experiments were with valve. I had no expectations regarding the S2 or S5 and preferred the S5, hence I kept them and returned the S2's. The amps included a AudioNote Ongaku, a number or different preamps, AR SP10, SP6, SP8, Croft Micro, Audio innovations (I cant recall the series, but a number L1, L2 ?), border patrol, numerous step up transformers including a ludicrously expensive Audio Note. Numerous different cabling.
Clearly my opinions are of no relevance and having used Horns since 92 and still using a separate SS based biamped system which offers a different perspective, I also have a lot of irrelevant experience with Avant Garde as I know the UK importer very well and now use bespoke TRON amplification.
I'll wait until I listen to a lot of classical and look forward to being enlightened.
