Unfortunately, most people will never understand how right Bojack is regarding the Fried A/3. I have a pair of A/6, which were substantially enlarged, but retain the same character. Incredible speakers that are at least as good as current ANY speaker I've encountered under $5000.
Likewise, the Dynaco ST70. When it comes to tone, this more than ubiquitous dinosaur competes with any amplifier. Provided it yields enough power to mate well with one's loudspeakers, and you can get past the fact that its low-end performance definitely does take a back seat to more modern designs, you can put additional decimal points in the price, but really can't do better.
