In search of respectable/reasonable tube amps with 16 ohm taps
Alternative no.2 would be the Baldwin 6L6 tube amp from Will Vincent (autospec) on this site. Single chassis two channels stereo from the Golden Age! Completely rebuilt with new parts. Auto-bias, too! $1000! I have bought from Will before and he d...

I just saw the US Audiomart ad for the Eicho EL34 Mono's. $1400 is a fair price! If I didn't already have a pair of the Paoli's I'd grab them! So you should buy them while they're available! I think you will be very pleased with the Eicho's!

Buy a nicely restored pair of Dynaco Mk.III's and you will be very happy! A proven classic from the Golden Age of tubes. 50 watts + from a pair of 6550's/KT88's and superior quality OPT's! I have a pair of the rare Paoli-modded Mk.III's (TAS recom... 
best amp platform/stand under VAC Renaissance 30/30 300b amp?
There are companies online selling maple butcher blocks made to your specifications. And at very reasonable prices too! I bought one custom- made for my TT's! For your amps you can't go wrong this way!

Bob Carver new tune expected
And I do have and use many other fine and outstanding amps - Bedini, BEL, Belles, Muse, Perreaux ...

But I will keep a fire extinguisher (and my eyes on!) my PL 400! One can't be too careful!

Thank you g_nakamoto! But I already knew that! And I was just making a joke about my TFM-15cb (presently driving a pair of KLH Nines and a pair of Ohm Sound Cylinders)! And not sounding "thin" at all!

@clearthink: I'm just trying to add a little humor to these oh-so-serious discussions! And I've seen Mr. Spock on TV many times, so he must be real!

How about getting a JBL Paragon and putting all of your digital gear and amps right on top! Plenty of room! 
Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
And don't forget to give those fresh new receptacles at least a 100 hour burn-in! LOL! 
Tube amp sound issues help
You'll just have to get used to the sonic signature of the ARC amp! If you don't like it, sell it and go back to the CJ! 
Tube amp sound issues help
Two different circuits with different OPT's and different feedback schemes will certainly sound DIFFERENT! And no way to make one sound like the other! Don't fool around with sticking the small tubes where they aren't supposed to go! The stock tub...
