  Anthem, a subsidiary of Sonic Frontiers, has a valve Home Theater preamplifier. I don't know the price neither the critics.

    I'm sorry to disappoint you rg, the Anthem AVM-2 is a purely solid state design, no tubes inside at all.

    Regards,

  I think it would be awfully expensive.....

  BAT is about to unveil their VK-AV10 Preamp/Processor, but I don't know if it has a tube based output stage for all channels, or just the front channels. I hate to say it like this, but the BAT will be very
  expensive (ca. US$10K)

  Golden Theater was working on a 6922-based output stage when they folded. I'm glad I didn't send it in for installation :)

  Cary Audio, which is known for its tube heritage has a pre/pro that is solid state, not tube based.

  So, it isn't easy to do :(

  Regards,
