Recommendation for tube amp.

I for a time, I was using a Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated to power my GE Triton Ones.  I didn’t care for it very much. I dislike the sound of the KT120 tubes as they sound a little grainy to me. I eventually went with a McIntosh 200wpc Integrated to drive the Triton Ones and they sound great.  

I am am running the GE Triton Refs speakers with a 300wpc McIntosh power amp and it is even better.  

If I had $5000 to spend I probably would look at the McIntosh amp.
When it comes time to buy I’ll most likely check out the van Alstine.
Good reviews (what doesn’t have good reviews?) and definitely within my budget.

Anyone else have any comments about the Van Alstine?

Take a look at Don Sach's KT88 amp.  It's been getting raves from owners and is in your price range.

If you want to get transparency, then this OTL amp will work.

Also Ralph of AtmaSphere is an active member of Audiogon, he has a good reputation of providing A/S for even used one.

Definitely take a look at Don Sach’s Kootenay 120 KT88 Amplifier! Fully regulated with independent power supplies for each channel and auto bias.

This is what I’m using along with his DS2 Tube Pre utilizing 4 6SN7s and a 6BY5 Rectifier and is just wonderful sounding and like nothing I have owned in the past (within the last 2 years); Vac, Herron, Line Magnetic SET and Vitus.

Don Sach’s equipment is here to stay...
