Tube Mono-Block Recommendation

Currently I have the Bob Carver 305, Looking to upgrade to something else in the Class A Region. Budget is around 12000 US, New or Used any recommendation.

I like the Amps, to be fast, Accurate and musical as possible. Giving me close to Transistor Amp Clarity but with the magic off tubes.

Just happened to browse this thread, while looking for nice tube amps too.

Dragon_vibe your budget was $12000.

Doesn't the MA-2 retail for $33000 and change ?

Just curious, did you overshoot your budget by 3X or am I mistaken about the price of MA-2s.

Art Audio and Wavelength Audio make some of the best SET monoblocks.

I also think Atmasphere's ma2 should be considered and examined very closely;they will do everything you are looking for and being able to talk directly with Ralph in case there are setup questions or any post sales support is a very large positive in my opinion and must not be overlooked.
