I will be getting some HD800S' soon and am also looking to purchase a tube amp to go with it. Price isn't that much of a factor, but i'd like the amp to cost be less than or equal to CAD$ 1500. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

PLEASE USE PCPARTPICKER.  My rig: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZBmWjX

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Yeah, a Mjolnir wouldn't go amiss for a setup like that.

I agree with this in particular. Make sure to run it balanced, though. I recommend paring with Modi Multibit or at least a decent DAC of some kind.

yup, that would be a really good combo!

Can't go wrong with a bottlehead crack if you're into tubes.
