Wavac MD-300b vs Sophia SET 300b

I'm not sure how accurate the power meter was on my Audio Research Ref. 600s, but playing them at the loudest comfortable listening level displayed 5 watts at maximum peaks. Yah, I'm going from a whole bunch of 6550s to one 300b.

But the question still remains... Wavac or Sophia. I wish someone here had a chance to hear them both really well.

Interesting. As Metralla mentioned, a small room will certainly help your cause and yes, a 300b amp will drive the 11 ohm version of ls3/5a just fine, regardless of it's low sensitivety. However, forget about a 300b based amp trying to drive them when paired with the AB1 sub[not a chance]. Regarding the wavac or sophia.... sorry, never heard them. Best of luck on your journey.

you'd be better off with a quality 300b push/pull class A amplifier
