Best tube amp for $2000 or less

Thanks JMCGrogan2. Admittedly I was a bit vague. I would like to keep with tubes ultimately. New would be preferred but if I found a used piece that was in good condition, I would take it and yes best is subjective.
Thanks

there r numerous quicksilvers here for sale that get completely ignored? They the quickies r built very well sound great I had two of the early mono models. And best of all.USA built with a company that is still around servicing. I am sure quicksilver has a good customer service record. This is just a thought in a world dominated by audio products from Asia..

I'm a bit confused also. What is wrong with the SF amp? That is a sweet amp. Are you looking for more power? I believe you will need to up the ante considerably to best it, especially for new prices. I love VTL amps, but there again unless you go monoblocks, I'm not sure of a truly palpable improvement.

Perhaps if you are looking for more grunt, then a SS amp such as Odyssey would do you well matched with the VTL preamp.

I'll hazard a guess that the best $2000 amp for your B&W's is not a tube amp.

You already have a VTL preamp; the addition of a VTL tube amp like the ST-85 or ST-150 would do nicely. You would have the system matching thing covered; not to mention they would be in your price range used. There is little else out there new that you would be satisfied with long-term, and have resale value.
