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.

Slightly over your budget though. http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1271128369&/Cary/AES-Six-Pacs-black---redu
