RE: seeking first tube amplifier advice

Now here's one

https://www.musicdirect.com/integrated-amp/Luxman-SQ-N150-Tube-Integrated-Amplifier

that meets a lot of your criteria.

Integrated tube preamp/amp with a mm/mc phono stage. Sold by Music Direct, so you have a 60 day in home audition period. As far as combining your HT experience with your tube-audiophile experience, I'd give up on that notion for the time being. Use your HK for HT, & when you are tube-audiophiling, just switch your speakers over.

Yes, at $2,800.00, it is slightly over budget. But Music Direct has a credit card application on their site, & when used in conjunction with a Music Direct purchase, you can get up to 18 months interest free. I am pretty sure that this one would qualify for the 18 month 0 interest.

Just throwing one out there. If you do some shopping, I am sure you can find a few similar options.
