I second JWN amps and Jim could build you a great amp for half your budget or less. I have an EL34, around 35 wpc, that Jim built for approximately $900. and it sounds terrific. Check out The Audio Asylum review section under tube amps for a few reviews of his amps.
EL 34 Amp Recommendations
I've got the bug to upgrade my amplifier, not too hard to do using a SS Nad that is 20 years old. After doing a bit of research I would like a EL 34 tube amp. I haven't tried a tube amp before so this is new territory for me.
My system:
Sonos--source
Pre-Amp--Cary SLP 98
Speakers--89db efficient
Subs--2 Vandersteen 2WQ
Would like to keep the budget under $2,200.
Any recomendations?
Thanks for the help,
Doug
