Most musical stereo tube amp under 5K..

...monoblocks out of the question due to space/shelving considerations (has to be a single-chassis stereo tube amp). Also, must be able to drive inefficient speakers (Totem Mani-2: 85db; 4 ohms).

I am looking at a VTL ST-150 for ~ $2,300 used right now. (only problem is no balanced inputs). Any other ideas?? (VTL deal must be decided on in next 48 hours). Thanks!

hi sutts, there's a melos mat-180 adwertised for $1400 here on a-gon. ship it to brant nordlund of melos audio restorations (702.248.6745), & he'll do a standardization mod for $500, or do a circuit mod for an additional $500, & yule be set. these are monster amps. there's a bit of info on this old link:
