Tube Amplifiers?


I am new to tube amps (I've had several tube pre-amps) and was wondering what people's thoughts are on the following: VTL-ST85, VTL TT-25, Anthem AMP 1, Rogue 88 and Quicksilver Minimites. I'd like to keep the cost around $1500

Buy used and forget about VTL unless you have a dealer within driving distance. If you phone Luke for service he will be of little help.
Hiflyer, I suggest an Atma-shere otl. Maybe MA-1MK11 or M-60 MK11. Both you may can find used at a good price(if you're patient) I've tried just about every amp on the earth SS and tube. I was avoiding OTL's because of the bad rep. they have ( thanks to a man named Futterman). I finally decided to take the plunge. I wished I had done it long ago. Whole other realm of enjoyment. This is not hype. If you don't believe now, you will believe later after much spent $$$, that if you believe now the $$$ you save can towards an OTL.
