$3000 alternatives to Decware Zen Torii tube amp?


Hey guys,

In the future I'll be buying a $3000 tube amp and pre, and I'm needing insight on my options, used or new.

My favored sound is emotionally involving and musical, lush, and has a great midrange for vocals. I dislike a bright sound.

Speakers at the moment might be a Nola Boxer, 8ohm 90dB.

I have *very* strong interest a Decware Zen Torii, and the main purpose of this is to ask if there's any alternatives to the Zen Torii I should consider. Would I be doing the right thing by my musical tastes if I get the Torii, or am I making a mistake and there are better options?

(I'm aware the Torii, while it has volume control, would like a pre-amp, and so I'd buy one in the future while I live off the built in volume control)

Psag,
You really feel the Tori is competitive with Wavac EC 300b? That's quite a compliment given the vast price difference. Congratulations and enjoy.
Hygienist, I have`nt heard the Zen Torii personally.However ever thing I read/heard about it suggest it`d be an excellent amplifier for your needs.
