I would look at a Plinius. I have a sa-50 that I use interchangeably with my BATvk-75se. The plinius is not tubes but is very good and can be run class A or A/B..single ended or balanced. Maybe a little more than your budget but well worth an extra 2-3 hundred.
ProAc Response 1SC Amp
I have a pair of ProAc Response 1SC speakers. I have a single source - output from a good quality DAC. I need one more component (an Amp) and I will have music!
I want to spend about $1,200 on the amplifier. I have read that the 1SC's sound particularly good when driven with a tube amp. However, I am new to the audiophile world, tube amps are intimidating to me (i.e. tube rolling, biasing, etc...).
I need help deciding which amplifier to buy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas!
