Looking for a first Tube Amp for under $1000


What would you turn to? I've read some very positive comments on the Onix SP3, Jolida JD-502b and the ASL AQ1003DT. What would be a good first amp which is easy to use (setting bias)? I mainly listen to rock and jazz and the amp would originally be played through a pair of Bose 301-IV speakers.

I will second Grinnell's recommendation of the Primaluna integrateds . These amps are very user friendly with the
auto biasing feature . They will allow you to try many different tubes and , should you decide against tubes , will be very easy to resell .
I don't believe that your present speakers will allow you to hear what any of these amp choices are capable of doing . So maybe your choice should be guided by your desire for ease of use more than the sound of the amp or an available speaker purchase option . Just my 2 cents .

Good luck .
