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

Cary V12i or V12R. Stereo version is in your budget and has 12 EL-34 (or KT-88, 6l6, 6550, etc.), 2 EL-84 (BH7 for V12R) and 2 6922 tubes. Looks great in the dark. 50 watts triode/100 watts UL. A nice sounding tube amp.

VTL Deluxe300 mono blocks. Smooth warm Ecellent soundstage layering ect, not the absolute last word in clean sound but they will not disapoint and will light up the room at night and heat it up as well. Nice amps. really
Will control any difficult load as well and drive the $%^& out of it.

If you could squeeze another 500.00 and go to 3500.00 I cant think of anything more stunning than an Art Audio Jota.
