SET amplifier recommendation

 I have been listening push-pull tube amp for a long time. Finally I'd like to try SET. Seems a lot of people moving from push-pull to SET. My budget is <$3000. Looking at Coincident Dynamo MK III 300B. As there is no dealer for Coincident, i can not try it/hear it. Anyone has this? I'd like to hear your comments. i also looked at Decware, Bottlehead, etc. It seems Dynamo is better. Line Magnetic has some interesting ones. But i am not sure the quality can match Canadian made one. 
    My main speaker is B&W 805. Listening space is less than 400 sq ft. My current push-pull setup is CJ premier 15+CJ premier 17ls2+ Audio Research VT100 MKI. Thank you.

I recently built the Elekit TU-8600R-VK with Lundahl OPT's and TKD pot.
I'm running Gold Lion PX300B, Tele 12AX7 and RCA Cleartop 12AU7.

It is sublime!!! Amazing amp and would costs $1800 for the upgraded kit, a few hundred more for the tubes I mentioned, or you can go with EML or Elrog 300B within your $3000 budget.

Not that it matters too much but Herb Reichart reviewed it for Stereophile and compared it to $20K amps, landing into the list of recommended components.
