Tube Mono-Block Recommendation

Currently I have the Bob Carver 305, Looking to upgrade to something else in the Class A Region. Budget is around 12000 US, New or Used any recommendation.

I like the Amps, to be fast, Accurate and musical as possible. Giving me close to Transistor Amp Clarity but with the magic off tubes.

Just following this from the sidelines. Always a fan of AS and am delighted you are going this route. Well done and thanks for supporting a true legend.

Just happened to browse this thread, while looking for nice tube amps too.

Dragon_vibe your budget was $12000.

Doesn't the MA-2 retail for $33000 and change ?

Just curious, did you overshoot your budget by 3X or am I mistaken about the price of MA-2s.
