Two tube amps for your consideration please


I am looking at two tube amps for purchase that will be for music only. Pre-pro will be a Denon 988 AVR with a Sony CD 200 CD changer in then pre out to tube amp. I have dedicated 1 of the channels on the AVR for this.
Speakers are B&W 805s.
For consideration is:
Jolida 502a 350.00
Yaqin VK-2100 300.00
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Signal path will be the CD via optical to the AVR (to take advantage of the superior Burr Brown DACs in the AVR) then pre-out to the tube amp then to the speakers.
Thanks

Unfortunatly the BADA222 integrated will not work as just an amp per contact with their rep.:(
Get real Macdadtexas. If you have money to burn great! I am on a SOC budget! Thats why I asked the question I did. Thanks for no help at all!
Would a Jolida 302B be a better choice? I know a fool and their money soon part and I am on a limited budget as I am retired, but I do like my music! 800.00 max, and that much would hurt!:) Your right Macdadtexas we will all be nothing but carbon and silicate ripe for the manufacturing of Chinese tubes one day and all of this will be somebody elses problem to figure out or sell.
No rudness intended. I realy do appreciate quality advice such as Vandermeulen and others. I always try to look at someones question with an understanding that the equipment in review usually represents their budget.As for most there is always something out there thats more expensive and better quality but alas not withen all of our reach. When I auditioned speakers for 6 months I learned quickly to only listen to those in my budget, as the others just spoiled my ears and left me depressed with what I could afford.:)
Once again no offence or rudness intended to anyone.
Thanks Jrinkerptdnet
I will check them out.
Thanks Blindjim
Do you happen to know of a good source for the kits you speak of? Good advice on the amps. I just got my new specs and they work real good:)Bifocal and all!
Thanks for that info Chayro. I looked it up and it is in my price range and the reviews look good also. It looks like a pre-pro? can I run my pre outs from the Denon to it then the BADA to the speakers?
15X24 with 8'acustic cellings and carpet with the listening on the long axes at 20'. I don't play that load anymore but load enough to hear in another room if I'm cooking:)2 100w power subs in each corner
I like all kinds of music but I play Blues,jazz, and country rock the most. I have 2 100w subs in each corner for bass management.
Thanks Folks I will look into the Atlas. I never heard of it before but that meens nothing:)
