Which SET amp to buy?


I am thinking about making the plunge into the SET amp world.I have not chosen speakers.I will pick my amp first and then search for efficient speakers.I have a budget of 2000.00 and do not know whether to go the 2a3 or 300b route.I have heard good things about AES,Wright-Sound and Bottlehead.The Wrights look very interesting.Especially the Mono 8s.I have heard there is an inherent hum in some SET amps.Is this true of all of them or only certain brands?Any input you looneys?

Since this thread is starting to lean toward the importance of speaker selection, I'd be curious to know if anyone has tried the larger Soliloquy speakers like the model 5.3 or 6.3? Are these somewhat "colored" and in what way, or are they fairly neutral? I'm running a robust 70w/ch CJ amp but might like to try low-power SET myself someday.
