Yeah, 211 and 845 tubes are way too dear. Hard to find good ones and most are unattainable at any reasonable price. I went the other way, first with a Dynaco and then to the Macs after hearing Pete and Stephen's with their Altecs. The MC-30s have the control and I don't miss any of the SET magic. I don't know if it's the 6L6s or as John, my tech, says, 'it's the trannies.'
OTOH, I've been running SS on my EdgarHorns and don't miss it either though, truth be told, I switch out the 45s to my DR-9 so I could leave it on and the wife could just turn on the TV without having to turn on the amps.
The AVMs looking interesting. Which model for you have?
BTW: I changed out my BAT VK-5i to my office and got an Ayre K-5 Twenty preamp and it's fantastic with a SS amp and my EdgarHorns. The Ayre is transparent and musical, like a tube preamp, without the need to replace tubes.
