High powered point to point tube amp?

Are there any manufacturers making high powered (250 wpc+) tube amps using point-to-point wiring? I have speakers that drop to 1.8 Ohm in the bass and am looking for an appropriate tube amp to drive them in a large room.

Quicksilver uses point-to-point wiring, but their largest amps are not powerful enough.

I want to limit my search to preferably US made, high powered, point-to-point wired amps. I am aware of all of the other US made high powered tube amp options available such as ARC, VTL, Rogue, BAT, Manley, etc.

Thanks,

Dave

I don't know if they are still in business, but check out Coastline. They made big powerful tube amps. There is also Tube Research Labs.

The Quicksilver M-135 monoblocks are out of production, but they occasionally come up for sale used. If you use 6550s or KT-88s, they will easily put out well over 200 watts. They can tolerate difficult speaker loads far better than most amps.
