Best integrated tube amp for 1500?

I will stand for Stingray if you don't need more than 50W/ch. I will acquire it someday to biamp my speakers for the mids and highs, but it only worth $1500 when you buy it used.

Jadis Orchestra, if you are interested there is one here for 1400.

Get a Rogue or a VTL.Both companiesmake a companion power amp to let you laterally bi-amp.So does CJ but think there too soft (I've owned them in past).Maybe another few hundered and a used Cary SLI-80 w/80wpc or a VAC Avatar for $2K.I heard the latter with NOS taking care of buisness with a few different Revel speakers (M20's and Gems) and sounded great.But Cary,VAC,and Manley don't hav matching power amps.Give yourself that flexiblity latter.

I would like to add KR Enterprise(older versions of KR Audio) 18BSI,20BSI. The sound is very dynamic and fast. It is not a "romantic" SET.

saw a british fidelity A1 for $200 from San Francisco advertised today.

it has a phono section and 20W and sounds gorgeous

downside is the age and condition and the chance that it turns into a grenade when the unit has had its day.

might be the best ever integrated!
