What's the general concensus on Wavac amps?

Expensive.

I have an MD811 driving Silverline Sonatina II. Absolutely beautifull. Cant play way loud but mid range is magical.

If you want the best that tubes can be, this is it.

Mr. Peabody and his Wavac machine were always a joy to behold (right up there with the Boris & Natashia segments).

The entry wavac 300b is around 7000 and is a DC couple interstage design with custom Tango transformers. This is maybe the optimal design type for a single tube SET amplifier; very expensive to produce.

Try to source the necessary transformers to build the amp and power supply for a DC interstage amp with the same quality as the Wavac. All of the other 300b amps that are in the same ballpark or a bit less are capacitor coupled with rare exceptions
