Single ended Power amp recommendation

Like Larryi I'll recomend an Art Audio amp, the Carissa. I'm running it with my speakers that are 98db efficient and have a 12" woofer with horn mid and tweeter. It's an 845 SET with 16 watts. There is an excellent review by John Potis on 6moons. The Carissa along with my deHavilland UltraVerve sound wonderful. Amazing resolution with body weight and warmth. I wish I could better explain how great it sounds but I'll leave that up to the reviewers. Good luck in your search. Also, as good as the deHavilland is you should also check out their 845 SET the Ios. I look forward to hearing it someday.

Cheers

Hi,
Have any one heard or audit the Dehavilland Aries 845-G with 845 tube output? These are 30W/chanel.
I'm wonder if they will be compatible with my SAP J2001 horn speakers (99db)
Thanks!

Well, here is no advice for a tube design, but did you ever listen to a Pass aleph series ?
They are something special and sound very good from scratch, and they are not sensitive to Preamps.
Another interesting idea could be the F1 amplifier ( the First Watt ), these are made for speaker design like you have.

I also have and love the SAP J2000 twins. I have used the Cary 300SEI, Cary 805s, Tenor 75i,custom made 45 push pull amps, and currently a custom 2A3 SET monoblocks with the Audio note Kageki tansformers. Like Larry has stated and IME, the speakers do very well with most tube amps. I suggest that you stick to your budget, buy used, and try to get an amp that you could resell without difficulty when you are ready to make a change.

Rgwrjs,
from all the amps you've tried, which one you prefer the most?
The SAP J2001 MKII has 97db instead of the older version, which have 99db.

Thanks
