Stereo Tube Amp Recommendations

What stereo only tube amps do you recommend in the price range of $2-$4K. I would be using them to mate with the Talon Raven-C speakers. I was considering the used ARC VT-100 MKII, VAC Std 105, VAC Renaissance 30/30 or Graaf GM-100. I want an amp that will control some musical solid bass and provide extened sweet high frequencies and a liquid mod-range.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

Save some $$$$$ and ck out a PS-AUDIO HCA-2 I replaced a cary rockit88 with one & I can hardly believe it. The HCA-2 is a killer amp. Ben in UTAH........

You might also consider the CJ Priemer 11. I think it is no longer manufactured, but I found it to be an excellent stereo amp. You can usaully pick them up for $1700-$2000 here at Audiogon

Don't know too much about the speakers, but I am very happy with my Sonic Frontiers Power 2. Plenty of bass power and control along with all of the other goodness associated with tube sound.

Before I got it I listened to a Bruce Moore - at the upper end of your price range, very good!! - out of my price range, or I would have gone that way.
