Tube amps under $7500

@larryi I realize true balanced, end-to-end, is a tough ticket. But I believe DAC & pre both fully satisfy. Phono stage does not, but vinyl use is down to "on request only" at this point. This forum very quickly talked me out of Prima Luna, and I was already inclining against Mac for other reasons. Top choice at the moment is ARC VT80SE but seller may be getting cold feet on that one.

Lab12 Suara.  $5400 (new).  60w.  4 ohm taps. Balanced.  Cool factor.

OP wanted romantic sound. As much as I adore my Lab12 Integre 4 MKII (and by extension Suara) they are definitely not romantic and tubey. 

The ARC VT80SE is a fully balanced amp so it fits your specifications.  I don't consider it a warm sounding amp, but that is a very subjective judgment.  I have never heard the Lab 12 Suara, but, nothing in the description suggests that it is fully balanced.  Just because a component has balanced input jacks does not mean it is fully balanced (the jacks might be there as a convenience).

Yeah, not sure myself.  Have only heard Lab12 at audio shows, so really hard to tell.  I did see a Part-Time Audiophile review that suggested the integrated was somewhat “warm” and “tubey”, but definitely YMMV.  I’m a big fan of some of the European and Japanese niche companies out there that provide alot of value for $ (e.g., Synthesis, Triode Corp., Lab12, Audio Hungary, Fezz Audio, etc.) Hard to go with ARC, VAC, BAT or CJ and meet the OP’s budget.  Me? I have 3 tube integrateds: Synthesis, Leben, and Triode Corp.
