Best 70+wattt tube amp under $2000 suggestions?

The word is Cayin. But as their top 4 big intergrateds, I've yet to figure out which one I need for the arrival this fall of the Seas Thor, which is very close to the Tyler line. Cdc which Tyler do you have? The U2's MTM? I'm looking for a good mid section for vocals and classical/orchestra, don't need big bass. Anyone which Cayin suits me? The Seas are a 87db speaker, so the 300b single ended may not be enough power, yet I do believe the 300 is best on sweetest mids.

Great suggestions.

The speaker - Ty is building a 3 way for me with the seas millenium tweeter, 7' mid and an 8" woof in a 9.5'" wide by 35" tall box. He feels that 70 watts should be plenty to power the speakers. The room is 16' X 24'.

While I'd love to demo amps like the Cary V12, they are out of my price range new, though used they fit the budget.

Sounds like a interesting design. But curiously, why don't you just go for the Tyler 3 way with the big Seas 10 inch?(forgot the name) I'm not sure why you want the 3 way with the 8 inch W22?? Here's my problem with the Seas, low efficiency for the tube amps I'm looking at. Take a look at the Cayin page, can you help me with best tube intergrated for classical music purposes. Not looking for "slam bass".

You may consider the following:
1. AUDION Sterling EL 34
2. AUDIOPHILE TECHNOLOGIE Amplitude 2.5
3. CAYIN TA 30
4. CAYIN TA 35
5. CONSONANCE M 100 Plus

(not necesarily in this order)

Good luck

I'm in love with my Sonic Frontiers Power 1 (55 wpc) amplifier. The Power 2 and Power 3 can be found on the 'Gon for under $2000. I believe they are both around 110 wpc.
