BAT VK-60 or Another tube amp?

I was looking to get back into tubes and was considering the BAT VK-60 since they are under $2K. What other tube amps with around the same wpc and current in this price range do you recommend?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

This is what makes the VK60 somewhat unique. However, it will not have as much current as your Pass 250. Perhaps a monoblock version VK150(?). Also, these amps are huge, heavy and emit lots of heat.

The Coincident Total Victorys (high efficiency with high impedence) do not need the current/muscle that the VK60 has. These speakers would sound better with a Rogue (run in triode) at half the price. Or you could get the Coincident 300b amps (used) for a little more than the BAT. The Sivlerlines on the other hand would like the the extra power of the BAT.
