Looking for a great el34 based amp

Not sure what your price range is, but you can use the search funtion at the beginning of the page and type in "el34" and that will show you a few amps that use el34 tubes.

Quicksilver uses el34 tubes, but not sure if you are interested in those.

There are also a pair of Wolcott monoblocks ( 5k )for sale that use el-34's.....

What speakers do you plan on using ?

My speakers are Speakerlab DAS3's they are a large bookshelf, 6-1/4" midbass and a vifa tweeter,8 ohm on stands.
I'm running them with a B&W 600 powered sub.

Audio Space AS-3i. Bias controls on the top panel. Small footprint FWIW, cute-looking, responds nicely to tweaks. Has front-panel feedback control and triode/ultralinear switch.

The Rogue Cronus is another interesting option, a little more power, a little more expensive.

Oh ya,

Class A preferred.

I notice Quicksilver mid monos,But I have no Idea what they're like.

I don't want a tube amp that sound like really good solid state.

I want the real life liquid sound of tubes. Ive never heard really good vintage tubes,but thats most likely what Im looking for. I like older sounding solid state amps,like the Accuphase P-300

I dont like bright amps, I like darker sounding amps with good detail.

I wonder if there are any current makers that copied the old classic designs, like the Marantz stuff thats so popular?

just some rambling thoughts....
