SET amps ?

Hi all, I have been a budget system builder since the mid 70's.I still have my first system ( Marantz 1060/Pioneer PL 12D ,JBL l36.I stopped in the mid 80"s for kids.I have Adcoms,NADs several Marantz's you know the deal.Anyway I picked up a pair of Tekton 4.1's and have them powered by an NAD 314.The question is , is now the time to try a SET tube amp ? I have been looking at several in the $750.00 to $1500.00 range. I do have a nice small listening room for the 4.1's . The Dared MP 2A3c looks interesting at the price.Any feed back would be helpful.How long do the tubes tend to last ? Thanks...

First guys ,the response is overwelling.I do have several systems working now...
1. Magapan MG II A's ,powered by an Adcom 555,ARC SP 9 MK 3
2. DCM time windows/Marantz # 18
3. Spica TC 50's , Peachtree Nova
4. DCM time windows,/ Emotiva UPA-200 , USP-1
5. Tekton 4.1, NAD 314 // Marantz 1060 // Marantz 1070 rotation...

So this would be just for jazz and chamber music in a small romm.Looking ( before my ears give out )for the SET "sound".I have many different sources from turn tables to CD players to I-Pods.

Yes that does look nice fit as well as the Dared MP 2a3c.Also I will consider used,and I am looking at a Raysonic SE 30 mk 2 that is for sale now ? So much to consider.In my older age I buy without hearing,back in the day we did not do that.Thanks man and have a great Thanksgiving.
