Best sounding cheap power amp?

[desmauler]

Hey guys, I am trying to pair up my engl 620 with a decent tube power amp, it doesnt need to be too powerful, in fact I wouldnt mind having like a 20w power amp, but I am just not sure what would be best for the lowest price, something I could find on Ebay or something, any suggestions?

Re: Best sounding cheap power amp?

Low wattage tube power amps are generally expensive. Look at a Carvin T-100, the Peavey 50/50 and 60/60. Of course there is the Mesa 20/20 but that is expensive too.

Cheapest tube poweramp I've found lately was a Carvin T-100.
Most over priced was the Mesa 20/20
Best deal but not a true tube poweramp - ADA Microtube 200.

The Rocktron Velocity 100 is nice too. I have one. It is wicked loud and its hard to tell that it isn't a tube power amp.

Carvin makes really nice stuff, and I dig my DCM150, but it's solid state.

Used Marshall 1space rack power amp.
Also ADA.
Lee Jackson Power amp is good too.
