Best 70+wattt tube amp under $2000 suggestions?


I'm looking for suggestions of a 70-100 watt tube amp to mate with some tyler speakers and I like a liquid sound. Either used or new though if used only a year or so old. Any suggestions for a great sounding tube amp under $2000?

thanks,

The word is Cayin. But as their top 4 big intergrateds, I've yet to figure out which one I need for the arrival this fall of the Seas Thor, which is very close to the Tyler line. Cdc which Tyler do you have? The U2's MTM? I'm looking for a good mid section for vocals and classical/orchestra, don't need big bass. Anyone which Cayin suits me? The Seas are a 87db speaker, so the 300b single ended may not be enough power, yet I do believe the 300 is best on sweetest mids.
Sounds like a interesting design. But curiously, why don't you just go for the Tyler 3 way with the big Seas 10 inch?(forgot the name) I'm not sure why you want the 3 way with the 8 inch W22?? Here's my problem with the Seas, low efficiency for the tube amps I'm looking at. Take a look at the Cayin page, can you help me with best tube intergrated for classical music purposes. Not looking for "slam bass".
