h_bomb,
I can understand your preference for the 300b compared to the KT 88 amp you currently have. The KT 88 is a very good sounding tube if well implemented. However IMO a well implemented 300b is quite formidable and alluring 😊. I was a happy owner of a KT 88/6550 push pull amplifier. Once I got my 300b SET thers was no going back. That was 10 years ago. I believe that you will enjoy your Luxman SET amplifier for many years.
