Integrated amp for tube lover

About three years ago, I went shopping for a new high-end integrated amp to drive my Revel Salon 2 speakers.  I had the opportunity to audition many of the tube and solid state integrated amps mention here.  Ultimately, I opted for the Hegel H590 integrated amp, as it was the one that fit my needs the most as far as sound quality and cost to performance was concerned.  All the integrated amp mentioned are great.  You should also add the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800.2 to your list of consideration.  Happy listening.      

Octave v70se worth a look.  I just picked one up.  Built like a tank. Enough inputs for whatever you need to do and  HT bypass.  Bass is very good

Good luck

I very much enjoy the smooth sound of the McIntosh MA7900 I picked up two years ago. Probably get one for $5-6,000 now days.

Octave nice but v70 just 70 watts into 4 ohms.  v80se ($13.5k) closer at 120 into 4.  Audio Hungary x2000 great amp at less than $7k!  Trafomatic Eon about same price as Octave.
