Entry level tube amp to try


Sometime this spring I'll be upgrading, and I would like to hear what the "tube" sound is like. I currently have a rotel rb1080/krell krc-3 pre combo which I'm somewhat happy with, but I would like a fuller sound with more body.
I was thinking of getting an anthem amp-1 to try,just to get a feeling of what tubes sound like,but would like some input if this would give me a fair idea of the different type sound you get from tubes. Then when I upgrade, I'll no whether I might want to go tube or s.s.
I don't want to go demo anything at a retail store,because I'll probably buy here. thanks for any help

I had an Aronov preamp with about $200 worth of upgrades. This was about 8 years ago. It made my CAT preamp sound like a little kitty while the Aronov roared like a lion. Sold the CAT MK whatever, had a much better preamp and a few hundred extra $$$.
While they may be a bit dated, I think the Quicksilver mono's have to be considered the classic entry level tube amp(S).
I just bought a CJ MV-60... and liking it a lot. I'm discovering all kinds of music that has been burried in my CDs..
