Big beautilful tube amp

AuGoNeRs,
I love nice looking gear and willing to sacrafice a bit on the sound quality.Can anyone recomend a BIG(70lbs+) single ended with alot of tubes in the open so i can see the glow at night.I am thinking about the BAT vk-60,but not sure if it would do well with my uno horn.keep it under 3k on the used market.thanks

Older VAC 30/30 or 70/70. Beautiful array of 300B's Nice Brass vintage VAC
Medallion, great sound.

i will second the V-12r recommendation. that 'jaguar carnival' red is down right sexy and seductive. enjoy a gander at Cary's sight and/or check out a-gon's classifieds. hfisher took some lovely shots of his V-12 that do the piece more justice than Cary's commercial sight. also, doubt you'll be thinking you've taken a hit in the sound department.

cheers

I'll second Velo62's recommendation of Art Audio. Their Symphony and Diavolo in polished stainless steel, (looks like chrome), look great at night plus they have an antique crystal that lights up a pretty blue for each channel. As a bonus, they sound great and Joe Fratus, owner, is a great man.
