Tube amps under $7500

Biggest reason to avoid tube amps, at least in my case…

1. relatively short life of power tubes (around 2000hrs)

2. cost of maintenance

3. tube rolling - too many choices, aggravates OCD

4. every noise the system makes - tubes are first to get blamed

5. every listening session that results in less than satisfactory experience - tubes are the first in line of usual suspects

With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the ST-100. It’s a great sounding amp. Very quiet, resolving and dynamic. However I am done with tubes for time being. 

@hickamore - I recommend the Audio Hungary Qualiton P200. You can use KT 120 or KT 150 tubes with it. Fantastic sounding amp. I use it with a Linear Tube Audio Microzotl preamp. For my taste, it’s a sublime combination.

Audio Hungary also makes some integrated amps, but I think going for separates makes more sense.
 

The Audio Hungary P200 amp is incredible. 

I agree with @ghdprentice ARC and VAC are higher end solutions than the Rogue. That’s 100%. Primaluna and Rogue don’t play in the same league with the big boys
Whatever you plan on getting - price the replacement tubes and make sure you are committed to it. The ARC Ref 160s is an amazing amplifier. Definitely on my radar when I get back into tubes(if ever). It has 8 KT150 power tubes though that go for about $150 each at Upscale and most likely more if you buy direct from ARC.
