Budget Tube Amp (newbie)


I'm new to tube amps. I need some advice as to a good budget tube amp with good bass that will push my large Advent speakers. Please keep in mind that I don't know anything about tube amps and don't want to pull the trigger until I can get some advice. I'm new to the Forum. Many thanks from an old guy.
Best regards,
Rob

I greatly prefer a good single malt, hopefully an isle of Islay, to Welch's and ethanol.
At least I think I do.

I've never tried the latter.
We definitely agree on the Islay.
Best I ever had was a 30 year old Ardbeg distilled in 1972.
While I'm more in the Bowmore camp than Ardbeg, they're not world's apart at all. Very cool.
You can buy for cheap old counterpoint SA-12 or SA-100 hybrid amps and even get an SA-1000 or SA-2000 preamp to match for around $1K on eBay.  PLUS they can be upgraded to compete with some current models amps today when you are ready.

Happy Listening.
  +1 for the Rogue . Also for Dynaco , but I’d opt for the Bob Latino ST-120. This amp will handle KT-120’s , but you won’t need that much power . Between Rogue , Dynaco , or whatever , run NOS driver and modern power tubes . Also your Yamaha has Pre Outs. With just an extra pair of RCA’s you could place a tube amp on the Yamaha and still use your phono input and tone controls . I did this with a vintage Marantz receiver ahead of a pair of Dynakit MK III’s. Worked fairly well , but I was just experimenting. Also personally , I’ve enjoyed a quiet SS pre ahead of a tube amp more than a tube pre ahead of a SS amp . However there are many great combinations that way too , just my personal experience. I had the small Advents , not the large . I drove them with a little Dynaco SCA-35 and it was SWEET !  I then turned left and ran JBL L-26’s and ventured down JBL Avenue, never to return to Advent . But the JBL’s are hard and edgy and take tons of power . So don’t go there . Cherish your stuff ( wish I still had mine to enjoy . BTW, I gave 3 old systems to my kids , #1  Sansui 9090/JBL4312/Schiit DAC,  #2 Sansui 7070/ Klipsch Heresy II’s/ Schiit DAC, #3 Marantz 2223/Klipsch Kg 1.5’s/ Pioneer PL117 TT. I traded my Dynakit modded MKI III’s for a heavily modded Thorens TD 116 MK II with a Sumiko . And I live with just a 12 WPC Had Inspire 😝. Cheers and happy listening , Mike .
