I ran SET amps for many years (mostly 6550's), although never the 300b variety. I can tell you I love my Valvet monoblocks model E1R. I believe they are a predecessor to the e2. They however do not sound like a 300b amps I've heard in the past. Not as liquid as the 300b but very close to the 6550.
Valvet E2. 300B killer?
Wouldn't it be nice if it were true? Then again, it just may be!
Anyone own one? 10Audio has very nice review out.
My only attempt to replace my 300B amp with a SS amp was with the First Watt M2. Close but not quite.
Any other First Watt iterations to consider? The Pass labs XA30 is more than I want to spend.
The $2999 for the Valvet is pretty much my ceiling.
Schiit Audio will be introducing the Aegir amp. 20 watt/8 ohm with the first 10 watts in Class A all for $799.
