I want to make the switch to a tube amp. The wife is not very enthusiastic about these things. An integrated amp is probably what I'd want. I have the Dynaudio Audience 50 and the room is about 15x20 ft. I listen to a wide range of music. Any advice on anything <$1,00?
FWIW, I've gotten beautiful sound using a 30W/ch 6L6-based tube amp with Dynaudio Contour 1.1 "clone" DIY loudspeakers (Esotec tweeters/17W75 woofers), debunking (for me at least) the contention that Dynaudio loudspeakers are power hungry.
Bill Baker of Response Audio is running a clearance on Ming Da amps and had two MC-88 units left a few days ago. It has a true active tube preamp stage unlike most of the so-called tube integrateds. I'd have bought one myself but I have no need...
