I need a SET amp to match my Dude Pre.

Almarg has reported excellent results w your speakers and a VAC Ren 70/70 and I love my VAC 30/30 driving Hornings, Merlins, and Ref 3A. Some people report the 30/30 is better but a lot depends on your room size. With 98 dB eff, I think that the 30/30 would be plenty unless you want concert levels for a full orchestra in a v. large room (mine is 23 x 14 x 8 w one large archway into a 2 story hallway).

You may want to look into Sophia Electric's older models of 845 amplifiers that still have first class sound and 3x more power than a typical 300B single ended amplifier. 25-28W per channel x 2 should drive your speakers.

Berony,

How much is your budget?

Berony,

Ignore my last post, I didn't see your $6K limit until now.
My bad. :)

Full disclosure:
I am Melody US Distributor and I saw you mentioned our AN211 and AN300B Integrated Amps here and this is why I'm joining this discussion to see if I may be of service.

Thanks,

Hugh

Appreciate all the advice. I have to come clean and say I went a lil over budget ( imagine a audiophile going over budget). I purchased a used but mint pair of Concert Fidelity 6B4G fusion monos.

They are described as direct heated triodes that are pushpull. The delicacy of a old 2a3 but with 60 watts of power. It was just a opportunity to get something rare and different for a good value. Well reviewed by really only Steve Hoffman and I assume he is not easily impressed.

Input impedance is a Dude friendly 100k. My first amps with input sensitivity which will also help match my pre. Fingers crossed it gives me that sublime, emotional involving sound quality. Come Fri, at least all doubt will be removed.
