Yes! I've been missing my Anthem preamp, run through a pair of Rogue monoblocks that I had several years ago. Sold them and bought a Mac MA6900 in 2005. The Mac is nice, but still has that SS harshness when pushed hard.
I rebuilt a pair of Roberts 770 monoblocks (Akai M8) from an old tube RTR deck. They have a nice sound but only put out ~3-4 watts, not enough for a rattle the windows kinda guy like me. (And one of them seems to be problematic. A recurring noise issue, that I'm told might be the OPT.)
Anyhow, if I does go tube again, it'll probably be a nice integrated.
