Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k


I wanted to see if there were any group suggestions for an integrated tube amp or tube / solid-state combo under 10k or, even better, under 6k. Still looking for my final purchase in this part of my system.  Thanks everyone.

Rogers High Fidelity on their website has a pre - owned EHF 200 Mark II Integrated amp w/ full lifetime warranty!

I bought it this morning - pretty stoked. I'll either be thanking you or cursing you next week😆.

I don’t have the long term experience owning many tube amps like some here have, but I’ve done a bunch of research and listened to quite a few systems.

My 2nd tube integrated (which I own now) is the Raven Audio Osprey at around $5K. They sell direct only so no dealer margins to pay and offer a 45 day in home trial for a nominal restocking fee. Service is exceptional.

I like the sub-out with 80Hz filter/bypass feature - it drives my 2 RELs.

I’m so impressed with Raven I’m trying to upgrade/trade-in the Osprey this year for 100% of it’s purchase price to the $15K Refection.

My system is detailed in my profile.

@jonwolfpell will do - Harbeth 30.2XD (85 dB) and 2 REL T/9x.

Going from 30wpc to over 100 should be fun. I should have it by May 11

@jonwolfpell Just fired up the Rogers High Fidelity EHF-200 MK2. 

WOW. And THANK YOU! You can get some sleep now:)

Out of the gate I installed some NOS Telefunken EF86 tubes (Roger said don't waste money on expensive 12AX7s so I didn't). So I expect the sound to get even better. But the head room is pretty much unlimited now.
