I'm all ears to recomendations

As I said earlier, I'm not at all familiar with US kits.
In general, I build my own stuff, so I've never felt the need to
search for a worthwile kit. I think I can do things better than all
those professionals ;-)

I'd still recommend this site to you:
www.worldtubeaudio.com

Much more information than you could possibly digest in a weekend.
There's also a section on kits.

Not a kit, but:

As the Devil knows, I'm a big Croft fan (although I've had only
limited experience with the products). I'm not particularly familiar
with this model though. My Croft is the MicroA, a little $400 list
price jewel for which the Devil holds a bit of grudging respect. This
one seems like a higher end version of the sme design. Very
minimalistic and all hard-wired. I'm sure that you can unearth a few
Croft reviews.

If you go this route, you might be intrigued enough to seek out one of
their OTL amp designs.
