The Quicksilver Integrated is only rated at 20 watts per channel, but with four EL84s per side, and big bespoke transformers, it’s going to sound like a lot more than that. Plus the EL84 is one great tube and it only costs $2,500, made entirely by hand, entirely in the U.S.
Recommendation Tube Integrated
At this juncture (nearly 2024) what are folks' best recommendagtion for a tube integrated amp. Constraints would be $10K (preferrably $5K or less), at least 35 watts per channel. New or used. Goal would be smooth, creamy sound. My current system, which I would consider very good solid state sound, can still be a little ...hard.... to my sensitive ears at times, and I'm thinking a tube option would be nice. Thanks.
