I concur with Steves findings.
EL84's are indeed superb sounding....

Want the valve glow factor, stick a Nixie Clock on the shelf.

If the budget were increased to £1500, that would open the door to some good SET's that'd be difficult to find at £500 - apart from once in a lifetime right place right time ultra bargains. Good that is when matched with the right type of speakers - high efficiency and not too low a minimum impedance.
