New Class D amplifiers
I have owned the Cherry amps (both the stereo and the monoblocks) and the Atma-Sphere monoblocks - I thought both were outstanding Class D amps. I now own a D-Sonic stereo amp which IMO rivals both of the above. The Cherrys are gone for obvious... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@j-wall - This is going to be a bit of a round-about answer: I've been a SET fanatic for several years, primarily 45 and 46 SETs.  I just love the presense and intimacy that those SETs provide with my 98dB + speakers.  I have been on the lookout... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
I ordered the monoblocks on May 27 and received them on Aug 16, so a bit under 3 months for me. Definitely worth the wait.  I was quoted a 3 month wait and it came in just under that.    
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
I’ve been a 45/46 SET guy for several years now. I’ve been looking for a Class D solution that can approach my experience with the SET amps. I read some of Ralph Karsten's (who I have much respect for) comments re: his Class D monoblocks, I ordere...

Here's the new Line Stage:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SkKiW8IHPJNnNIuG8OyzXoVU-lSa2YFc/view?usp=sharingUp and running and sounding good.  I will run it for 50 - 100 hours  on the tubes supplied by Aric before rolling in some NOS 6SN7s that I ... 
Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp
I have a custom Unlimited Line Stage being delivered tomorrow.  It uses 6SN7s instead of the 12BH7s.  It is upgraded using Miflex copper-foil, paper in oil coupling capacitors and a dual choke design power supply with all film capacitors.I am very...

Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options
I strongly second the Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 recommendation above - I have it, and IMO you can't equal it for the money, much less better it. 
Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000.
I second the Raven Audio Osprey - you just can't beat it under $10K 
Your Pick Between These Two...
I would second @skypunks  recommendation  to take a look at Raven Audio - their Avian series amps are outstanding and at the price point you're looking at, the Corvus Reference Monitors would be very hard to beat.  They have a 45 day trial period ...
