What's the best EL84 amp?

My speakers have loved the two I’ve tried, both vintage. I would love to spend some money and get a great EL84 amp. Any suggestions? Not interested in an integrated.

For my purpose, I liked the VTL better. I also think that the older one sound slightly better than the newer ones… But they are a PIA to bias.
