US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes?

I know that foreign made can still be excellent equipment, but I like the idea of support being "local". No offense...

Suggestions? Preferably less than $5000

I am amazed how these EL34 tubes drive my TAD ME-1 speakers at 85db 4 ohm as loud as I can stand.
