Integrated SET...

I recently replaced my Wilson Watt Puppy 8's with Zu Audio Omen Def Supreme. MUCH more efficient speakers, which leads me to a long time itch to try a single ended tube amp. This is the first time I've had speakers that could actually work with low power.

 

So, what do you recommend in terms of a good SET, preferably integrated and remote (at least for volume)? Budget is pretty flexible, but I would like to stay under $5-6k used

I really like the sound and quality coming out of Triode labs / Finale Audio out of Toronto. I've used their 300b amps and 2A3 amps and both were stunning. Personally i like the 2A3 amp better on my horns but both are stellar ( tube dependent i think NOS vs New). Not sure what they offer in an integrated though right now but worth looking at. Remote may be an issue as they don't seem to like them. 

Coincident is another one i recommend.  

There's so many out there now to choose from now so wait for all the recommendations. 

then there is the Chinese tube amps that seem to het good reviews. 

another one that has peeked my interest: ThomasAndStereo (galion-audio.com)

Don't overlook the Willsenton R300B integrated.  I have it and like it very much.  It's not just good for the price.  It's really good.
