I'm talking about entry level stuff here, under a thousand bucks. You've mentioned some very fine products, and I wouldn't consider any of it to be entry level.
I've heard some really great SET amps in the ~$2K price range, some even hovering closer to $1000 or $1500. But once you get good tubes in the those thousand dollar amps, you're getting closer to the two grand mark. Gently used gear is another option to get the price down.
But what I'm talking about here are entry level tube amps and kits that sell for a few hundred bucks. The low-buck SET's are fun, but not really my cup of tea.
