Good SET Tube Amp for $1500?

Roger and Jax: I don't think that the Soliloquy's (90 db)are quite efficient enough for the 2a3s. The factory claims power handling of 8-300 watts (quite a range), but I think that they'd be a little thin with only 2 or 3 watts pushing them, and as you might imagine, my budget precludes the Avantgarde Dous!

Building one sounds like a good idea, too. In fact, builing a SET amp is somewhat less complicated than a push-pull, right? Fewer circuits and whatnot. I think that the Billie is about $1,200, no?

Thanks, all, for the ideas! Cheers!

Jax2: You're a DAWG, man! That's a compliment, you know! I'm the same way; I like bottom feeding--not that there's anything wrong with that ^_^.
