@aberyclark, personally I would lean toward a Leben CS-600 which can be found in good shape 2nd hand around your budget, unless you need inefficient speakers. That amp looks gorgeous & has a very good headphone amp which is a bonus - http://lebenhifi.com/products/cs600.html
Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??.
I have considered trying a tube integrated amp. The Prima Luna Prologue Premium has received numerous positive testimonials regarding its sound quality and is considered a bargain at $2399. Ayon’s new "Scorpian" tube integrated is more expensive at $4200, supposedly offers excellent sound quality, but has not gathered many press reviews. .
Is anyone familiar with these products?? Are they reliable over the long haul?? and if so, can either amp effectively drive any speaker load, including Golden Ear Technology model 7 or the larger model 5. Or have any problems driving Magneplanar .7 speaker, or any of the Martin Logan speakers. Thank you
