"So, what manufacturers do you recommend"
The heart of a SET amplifier - tubes aside - resides in the quality of the output transformers and power supply. The former are very expensive if done right, and because they're key to overall sound quality, it's important to know who made them. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend any amplifier manufactured by a company that doesn't use a brand of known, high-quality transformer. This eliminates all Asian manufacturers as far as I know, with the exception of a few in Japan. It may also eliminate a few Western companies that don't publish the source or specs of their transformers. If I was in the market for a new amplifier, I'd probably start by contacting transformer manufacturers like Magnequest, Lundahl, Sowter, etc. to ask for a referral.
