Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k

+1 on The Octave

To consider:

Rogue Audio Pharaoh II integrated (Tube/Hypex hybrid)

Rogue Audion RP-1 with PS Audio class D M700 Mono Blocks

Modwright KWH225i Hybrid integrated on on usaudiomart 

Tubed pre of choice around $2K with used Bryston 4B or 3B cubed amp.

NOTE: The Bryston Power Amps come with a 20 year warranty.

@boxertwin12 I have a Decware ZMA, a UFO and am on the waitlist for a 300b. In the mean time I’m having a custom amp made which will probably replace all of them. but they are hard to beat. I would recommend the 300b but there are so few out there that they are unheard of on the secondary market and 2 years out on the waitlist. I’ve owned 3 different Decware amps so far, all bought on the secondary market.

Jerry,  I was on the waiting list for a ZMA but finally gave up waiting after about 8 months and bought the PrimaLuna.  What is your impression?  Curious about the custom-made you are working on and why it would possibly best the Decware amps.  Will be selling the ZMA anytime?

Carver Blackmagic 25s, mono them, ~$4000 for two.

Have yet to hear the RAM285, but good reviews from Axpona, 85w/ch. $4995 unless you get in early for the $1000 off the first 50 orders.

@charles1dad and @carlsbad2 excellent discussion I'll just say I found myself dissatisfied with tubes amps until I heard my first pushpull Class A triode wired amp, since then I've never wanted anything else. 😉
