If you want to go single ended, I vote for the Cary 805C or the Unison Research Smart 845's. If the KEF speakers have no less than a six ohm impedence I would also place a vote for the lower priced Atmasphere, Berning or Prodigy OTL amps.
Best Tube Amp under 10K?
Having every audio dealer in town recommend their line as "the best unless you want to spend $25K" and buy a ..." is frustrating. Well, like most of us, I can't spend $25K on amps ... but I am curious to know what others consider their "final" amp upgrade under $10K. My listening tastes are wide ranging but will mostly include SACD jazz and classical. I do not have a turntable ... yet. And I ususally play at low to moderate volumes only (the wife factor)-- speakers are reasonably efficient 91DB KEF Ref 4's that I hope to upgrade.
