Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR



Which do you prefer; S.E.T. Princess 300B Carbon Plate or KR 300B WE Clone?

I've only experienced NOS 40's/50's WE so my expectations are pretty high. Which do you think captures the essence of the WE most closely? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible so EAT is not an option, as much as I was blown away by their KT88. I considered current WE but they're not in production until Spring 2011.

Thanks Phaelon,
I`m very happy with my Shuguang Treasure tubes, but these top Sophias seem quite special. I wish you many long and satisfying hours with them.
My 300B journey has come to an end. I've since moved on to a new soundscape - F2A11.
@Sakahara

Saw you were selling your Sophia's, was kind of confused until now.

You mean this one? http://www.thoeress.com/en/f2a11-stereo-amplifier/

Very unusual design for sure, but its German, so, must be good:-)
Their speakers looks very impressive to.

Interesting how it compare sonicaly to 300B based amp.
Sakahara,
You replaced your wonderful Tron amp? what did you find better with the replacement?
So maybe sacrilege but have a push pull 300b tube amp (actually on the way its 23 watts of power). It runs four 300b's. Comes with EH 300bs. I also have a 300b set with Full Music se 300bs which are very nice tubes but only 2 of them so you can afford the luxury. So 4 of the high end 300bs is going to set me back at least $1,000, maybe even $1500. Yikes - what do I do - will play with the Eh's for a while but know I am already scheming for some Sophias or something else.....? Is there a budget tube that will give me what I need out of my new amp?
