I'll second the Eastern Electric stuff as well. You could also check out Almarro 205s (Japanese), Sophia Baby, Xindak...I
I've been very happy with my Melody SP3. They were sold by the now-defunct AV123 company under the Onix brand name. They're about $500 used these days.
Audiofeil,
I'm unaware that Vietnam is producing quality audio gear. That does not surprise me since Vietnam is producing some of the best quality mainstream clothing!
Why would anyone go out of their way to buy a Chinese tube amp. If you think Chinese tube amplifiers represent good value, used Manley, VTL, Audio Research, Conrad Johnson and Quicksilver represent an even greater value.
