845 or 300b with Agalme?

Hello, I have Horning Agalme speakers, I think the other horning speakers would be similar but just smaller. and I’m looking to hear who has heard them with 845 and 300b type amps.

 

my room is 28 x 18 dedicated music room

Everything I have read is having me lean toward the Thoress 845 mono’s
 

 

I would appreciate any info.

Thanks, Scott

The Monaco amp is very good and only time with the other amps mentioned, in your system, will determine if they are more engaging and enjoyable to you.  This passion is so very subjective.

That’s true, unfortunately Ups destroyed my Monaco.

 

I might have a chance to buy it back but the corian was shattered so who knows about other damage and if it would be worth trying to save?

Too sad. If you could have a nice matching wood chassis made I bet it would be pretty easy to get the amp going again. I doubt the internals are damaged much or beyond repair.  As long as the iron is good the amp can live again

@grannyring In regard toThoress, I purchased with possible intention to upgrade caps, resistors. Did you listen to Thoress? If you did, how would you describe flavor?     i'm thinking Texas Components TX2575, Duelund Cast.
