Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp?

My max budget is $1500 (for used).
It will drive Tyler LSS (one piece). (Is it 89 or 90db?)

I already have VK-200 and VK-30, but want to also keep a tube amp which would work better than VK-200 for different styles of music. BAT VK-60 may be an ideal choice, but I have some EL34 tubes (by Siemens) and want to use them. Also, VK-60 is a bit more than my budget. That's why.

Canary CA 160.

I have a pair of your speakers in my closet. They are 92db and I had no problem driving them as loud as I needed in a 19.5x13.5x9 ft room with 40 wts.

The best sound I got out of these speakers using an amp with EL34's (SED Brand) was a Primaluna 1, a simple integrated unit which I'm sure sounds nothing like your BAT's. Probably warmer and less transparent/resolved. I found I liked the LSS's sound best, especially thru the mids and highs, using amps with 6550's or KT88's. In my room these speakers had a less than perfectly linear tone thru the mid/upper mid range and tubes with too much color (emphasis) at certain frequencies could sound a bit edgy. Maybe it was my room or ancillaries.

Power wise I tried 5 different tube amps from 40 to 160 wts and all had sufficient power to drive these speakers off 4 ohm taps, and in one case 2ohm taps, so finding an amp with power is not so much an issue I think as is getting one with proper tonality.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific or help. If I had to make a WAG I would suggest, in that price range, you consider a VTL or Manley amp using EL34's - they have a good reputation and a fairly modern sound (for tubes).

Quicksilver 135 mono blocks very reliable great company
Have a pair of these if interested in th 4 k zone
Cheers Johnnyr

Thanks for your response.
From your suggestions, VTL-85 ($999) and Quicksilver KT-88 Monos ($1050) look interesting, if I don't restrict myself to EL34 tube amps. I am not looking for int amps since I am going to use my vk-30 as pre.

How about Copland CTA 504? Somebody offered me it at $1300, but I have not hear of the brand.
