I have a prototype pair of Essences here.
Don't know your budget for amps.
The only SS amps I've heard on the Essences are the Pass Aleph 30, various First Watt amps, and a Pass XA 30.5.
Since I've had no other ss amps to compare, I only have the various Pass designs that I can comment on. All are good, XA 30.5 is great, a used Aleph 30 should be a great buy.
You mention your nieces. If they are small children, the sharp edges of heat sinks and very hot Class A operation might rule out any of these amps. Not due to sonics but due to ultimate safety.
Best regards,
