Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k


I wanted to see if there were any group suggestions for an integrated tube amp or tube / solid-state combo under 10k or, even better, under 6k. Still looking for my final purchase in this part of my system.  Thanks everyone.

Best tube amp at any price VAC 70/70 Ren mk 3 Find one used. You will not regret it. The other amps are fine but not like this amp.

For those that keep inquiring about the specifications of my Daedalus Apollos speakers:

 

Sensitivity: 96 db SPL with 2.83 volts @ 1 meter

Impedance: 6 ohms +/- 1 ohm

Got it, now I understand why others were suggesting an uplift looking at other amps. Yeah, you’re only gonna get so much out of that bone stock PL and your speakers.

You're in SET Triode amp or a lower power quality amp territory now, and with those speakers can be the sweet spot. Next chapter will be fun :) Lots to consider out there. Kinda depends on your typical volume levels you like to listen to as well.

Heck I’d even recommend considering the Quicksilver Mid Monos, 50% triode, pretty sweet for the money with your speakers. I run QS myself. Plan on getting a really good separate linestage/preamp if you don’t go with some higher-end integrated amp again.
