EL 34 Amp Recommendations


I've got the bug to upgrade my amplifier, not too hard to do using a SS Nad that is 20 years old. After doing a bit of research I would like a EL 34 tube amp. I haven't tried a tube amp before so this is new territory for me.
My system:

Sonos--source
Pre-Amp--Cary SLP 98
Speakers--89db efficient
Subs--2 Vandersteen 2WQ

Would like to keep the budget under $2,200.
Any recomendations?

Thanks for the help,
Doug

A lot of good suggestions. Thanks all. I did have my eyes on the CJ mv-60 and the quicksilvers. Going to look into the others. I was also considering the Cary Rocket 88. Would like to purchase used and save a few $'s. I have bought almost all my equipment used over the years.
Can't use an integrated amp. The Vandersteen 2WQ require separate pre-amp and amp. Don't know why, but they do.
