I recently bought my first tube gear in a very long time, an AES AE-25 Supramp and AE-3 DJH preamp, and have been extremely happy with them. They're built by Cary in North Carolina.
The amp will work with many different output tube types and is auto-biasing, which is both a great convenience and makes it very easy to swap tubes and learn what the different kinds sound like. The wiring is all point-to-point and the build quality and parts are exceptional.
The amp is 15 watts in the triode configuration but easily powers my Devore 8's in an 11x17 room.
