Multichannel tube amp recommendation please


Hi-
Im helping a friend upgrade his H.T. system.
I 'think' he has caught tube fever and is interested in looking at 5-6 channel tube amps.
The only one I have found in a search is the Butler line.
I know there must be more out there.
Budget $3000 retail (maybe a tad more)

He has Merlin MM monitors,MM center and B&W AW-3000 powered sub.

Thanks-

Hi Dave, Never heard of Butler. Looked at their web site. Sure is a lot of power for the money for tubes. The only thought I have is perhaps mono blocks. Could be expensive to maintain 5 channles of tubes, especialy if pushed in typical HT fashion.
