At that price point most likely you will need to go used. There are some very nice Asian products. Tube rolling is critical. Contact www.tubeman.com He may also have a nice amp for you in that price range.
best inexpensive tube integrated
I just bought a pair of klipsch heresy speakers in mint condition for a bargin. Ive always wanted to experiment with tube amplification and I think now is the time. I know very little about them(tubes) and want to try them out at a minimum of expense. I paid 350 for the speakers and therefore would like to keep my budget below 700 for a tube integrated. I am not against used equipment. Is it worth a try or is my budget too low to jump into tubes? suggestions please!
