Contrast/compare 50W tube amps

I have some issues with the Cary gear,would rather consider the VAC Renaissanceor PHI series.
Same for the ARC and CJ,both have an identifiable signature on the music.Sorry -don't wish to offend!
Thanks for the observations.The GM-70 and Quickies are moving to the Front-of-the-Pack.
No further comment on the Atma-Shere/OTL route??

Many would be quite happy with the DeHavillands. But I could not get them to drive with the energy of the Quickies.

Tpsonic, any reason the Conrad Johnson MV60 (55 watts/ch with EL34 tubes) or MV60SE (60 watts/ch with 6550 outputs) aren't on your list?

I have the MV60 and find it very musical with more than adequate power. (I listen to a wide range of music, though 95 dB average is the high end of my volume range. 80 to 85 dB is a more typical volume and the amp powers my 87 dB/watt Spendor S5e's just fine to the highest volumes I listen at.) The 6550 MV60SE might be the better choice for the top & bottom end, but there is certainly no substitute for the magic of EL34's in the midrange.

I like Jaybo's recommend of Quicksilver, Did not see the model he mentioned, but the model used for sale, Silver 60 monos, at 40 lbs/per mono, has 4 EL34's per side. Really nice at $1680. Looks to pack a punch.
I agree with Tpsonic about the ARC's, "identifiable signature on the music", very much so. Heard my friends older 200 model and the new VS110's. Smokey, grainy, bland.
Heard one older CJ monos, again, has a "CJ house sound".
Man that Silver 60 monos looks tuff. Man wish I had the bucks.

You should add Quicksilver Mid Mono's to your list. They can use EL-34, KT-88 or KT-90 tubes and output between 50 and 60 watts. By trying different tube combinations, you can achieve almost any type of sound you desire. I currenty run a pair with Mazda 12AX7's, Amperex 6922's and Grove Tube EL34's. I've rolled over 30 combinations of tubes and this is the setup I like best.
