I havn't heard any of these amps but if someone is willing to take a chance this one looks less risky than say a SE 845 amp. MAinly due to the lower voltages and current thee tube types need.450.00 total gives you a lot of room for vintage EL84 amps but then they would most likly have to be repaired and for a non-techy to own one could be risky too.
There simply isn't a no-brainer turn key tube amp for a few hundred dollars. I would recomend one of the Panasonic recievers for under 300.00. Tubes or not they sound great!! I can refurb a vintage EL84 amp but one would have to get very lucky to score the few that will beat the Panny. And they are very few.
