Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500?


Hello, all. I wanted to purchase an integrated SET amp. My budget is under $1500, and I was wondering which company, or which model in particular would be a good one. My speakers are Axiom M80tis, with a 4 ohm impedance, and the SPL In Room 1w/1m is 95dB and the SPL Anechoic 1w/1m is 91dB. I listen to all types of music, and I prefer an amp that can give me the most "lifelike", natural, sound possible. There are so many companies to choose from, and so many different models that I am confused as to which one to get. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please feel free to go into as much detail as possible, because I really need to learn a lot, and I could use the advice. And also, do you know of any websites where I could learn more about the different types of amps there are out there--such as SETs, 300Bs, monoblocks, etc., etc.,? Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks to all who reply.

I have an Antique Sound Labs MG-SI15DT integrated tube amp. It has a switch so that you can choose between 5 watts SET and 15 watts in pentode. It uses 2 KT-88's as power tubes. Has 3 imputs and a subwoofer out, and comes with a nice wooden remote control for volume. This amp has a great sound, does not get overly warm and should drive your speakers quite well. It priced out new at $1000.00.
Another thing you might like to try out is the sonic T super amp. I think you will be amazed at what this little digital amp can do for $139.00.
Peace
