Mcintosh MC275 alternatives?


Hello All, I'm considering this unit, not being too familiar with the current crop of tube amps in market at the moment, can anybody recommend alternatives I should be looking at?

 

Criteria as follows

-North American / European / Japanese made,

-50 watts minimum

-el34 or kt 88

That is an interesting, and somewhat incomplete set of criteria--what about price? Why, by the way, those tube types, do you have a large stash of those tubes or are there amps you heard that employ those tubes that you particularly like, and if so, what are they those amps?  If you are not that current with available amps, how did you arrive at the MC 275, and what have you heard and liked or disliked?
