I had an AX7e. It's a great amp. I had it side by side with several McIntosh integrateds and found it to be cleaner and more accurate in the soundstage without sounding at all analytical.
I went to a ARC VSi-55 and was happy with my choice. Tubes have a different texture that I find important. I also have a RWA sig. 30 that is really nice with great depth and soundstage but it's 30 watts.
Good luck in your search.
