You're going to get a lot of responses asking specifically what you didn't like about the Tom Evans, and what kind of sound you're looking for in the replacement.
So the Tom Evans has opamps driving a quad per side of EL84, running in parallel single ended...that is indeed a weird beast (and that's putting it mildly). So perhaps you're looking for something more traditional? Personally I'd look at options from Rogue, Manley, and some older VAC gear (e.g. the Marantz 8B clone, or the Renaissance amps, NOT the Auricle Musicblocs which suck), all used (on a $3500 budget). Or if you're more adventurous, a nicely restored vintage tube amp like an original Marantz 8B or a McIntosh.
