Primaluna?
@upscaleaudio DHT and single-ended amps fell out of favor years ago. Is this a personal observation or are you talking about just the products you sell. I personally am all in on very efficient speakers and low watt power amps and can see tha... 
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
Sorry that I'm stuck in a loop.  but the Decware Tube Tot are a different configuration than the 945 and supposedly Decware's new super speaker. Any chance the 945 could be replaced with them?  
Recommend new EL84 tubes
NessTone probably are but they’re cheap enough to try and if they don’t work for you the investment is pretty small. I’ve used them for years and have had good service out of them. I liked them better than the Electro. Harmonex for what’s that’s w... 
Any love for Shine Ola?
I don't think I know Schitt from Shine Ola

I've had great results with the NessTone EL34 | 6CA7. They sound great and are inexpensive enough to keep fresh.

Decware just released their new Tube Tots for $1150.  I'm sure Steve would take more money to meet your criteria.  
Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders?
@arafiq  With a volume control it will work as an Integrated with a single input.  You'd have to add a switch box to be true integrated without a  phono input.  
what differentiates in 2/12 way and 3 way speaker ?
@yogiboy  Thanks    
Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders?
I’ve been using old Dynaco amps for years and learned how to listen and now have moved to SET amps and super efficient speakers. But before I would purchase a tube amp off of Amazon with a repair facility no where in the country I would look at th... 
what differentiates in 2/12 way and 3 way speaker ?
I don’t know and would be interested too. A three way has three drivers and a 2 1/2 way have 3 drivers. On a 2 1/2 way is the bottom driver crossed over as a sub?
