my advice to would be tube users, avoid the AV-200m it is not a pure tube amp...
go to your friends' house and listen to tube amps.
choice of tube amps depends largely on the ff:

1. size of your listening room
2. your listening habits, or how loud fo you play? do you want to go to 11?
3. sensitivity of your speakers in db.
audition is key.....trust only your ears....

Initial price was 18,000 with tone controls and subout. But he added a phono stage so we settled for 19,500. I'm using it with my Andrew Jones Pioneer SF-52FS and Mordaunt Short VS series (circa 1999 model).

We only communicated thru text messages. Just told him what I was looking for. He said he had one in production and when it's finished I can audition it. Waited for about 2 weeks. When he texted me that I can already audition yesterday I went to his shop and brought my speakers. After audition I asked him if I can bring the unit home with me. He said yes and I was all smiles from ear to ear.

Congratulations bro, very good deal!
Cheers!

Thanks. I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for all your inputs.

December ko lang nabili yung speakers at hindi pa masyado na break-in. Pero lumabas yung ganda ng tunog ng speakers. Easily driven by this tube amp. Pati si Mang Andrew nagustuhan ang tunog ng speakers
