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

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

Joule.

Sound even better than they look...... and you'll pay for it, but it is worth it!

Look at the Art Audio Carissa. With 845 tubes, all chrome finish, optional chimneys, blue LED's that project an etherial outline of the chimneys onto the ceiling and outboard legs its definitely quite the show. May be a bit pricier than your stated limit.

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
