Trelja,
Thank you for your reply.
Thats quite a list. I have been thinking of a new amp for my Aristotles for some time now.When I audition amps in my price range I gravitate back to my deHavilland's.I recently moved to a new home in Arizona {couldn't take the snow any longer} and am trying to set my system correctly.After that I will be back to my quest for an amp.Thanks again for your list

Goldeneraguy,
You have been using a very highly regarded amplifier, what type of sound are you seeking now? Fortunately there are numerous excellent choices for a high efficiency high quality speaker such as yours. 
Good luck with your searce.

Charles,
I have been using 845 tubes for about 13 years and sometimes think its time for a change.Over the last two years I have auditioned many amps in my system and in my price range that have come close to the sound I hear from my deHavilland's but none have surpassed it.
They were all tubed amps from push pull going all the way to direct heated.
The deHavillands were always the standout.Very sorry Kara no longer makes them.The only negative (if one can call this a negative) is in my system I would prefer an amp with an input sensitivity of 900mV to 1.2V 
This would allow more flexibility in using the rotary volume control of my preamp which is dialed to #3 on a scale of 1 to10.
The preamp has such a fine tolerance that channel balance is always spot on but Ideally I would like the volume control to be dialed to the 4-6 position
Nitpicking, yes.
Plus the fact that although I have been a music enthusiast for over 50 years I never heard a 2A3 based amp and I think I owe it to myself to do so.
But first I must get a handle on my new listening room.
Going from a 12 x 21to a 18 X 29 room is more of a challenge then I thought iy would be
Enjoy
Ed

Hi Ed,
You certainly  have established a high standard with use of the DeHavilland for 13 years so I can see your dilemma, . I'd agree you  need a less sensitive amplifier and /or less overall gain in the system to widen the range of volume control  usage.  I'm confident that you'll find a very suitable replacement amplifier
