I looked at them hard before purchasing a pair of VAC PA90 (45 watts triode & 90 watts ultralinear). Sent them to Kevin for service and upgraded to their D series with balanced imputs.
Tvad those Audio Valve 60 watt monoblocks might work for you;I think they are a balanced design but not 100% sure;might be worth checking out. I have the Challanger 180 monos and they are just fantastic driving my soundlab M2's. Auto bias circuit that lets you run el34's,6550's and kt88's ;you can even mix then up it you want but I have not tried that as of yet. Presently using JJ kt88's with very nice results.
I remembered years ago Avant Garde demo their big Trio in San Francisco Stereophile show with BAT 150SE and it was mighty impressive, in fact I voted that room as the best sound of the show. if you don't need that much power, 75SE will do fine and under your budget though it's not mono block.
