Push pull 300B amplifiers


Any opinions on this topology compared with SET 300Bs or push pull KT88/EL34s (my only point of reference)? Any reason push pull 300B amps not more common?

Am considering the Canary 301 Mk2 or ASL AQ1010DT for 90 db easy load speakers (Equation 25). Good idea?

Any thoughts appreciated.

I've had no experience with Canary amps but a friend whose ears I trust has - he says they are very well made and quite musical. Also have had no experience with P/P 300B amps since I'm quite happy with my 300B SET at this point. However, at $200.00 - $850.00 a pair for output tubes (and you'll need two pairs) retubing gets quite expensive. I also don't know how long the power tubes will last being run this way, maybe longer.

By the way, Bobheinatz, what 70 watt amp are you using?
TWL, Berning describes the ZOTL amp as class A push-pull. Even though his design is truly unique, I don't see how you can call an OTL amp an SET in any traditional sense of the term.

In any case I would love to hear it.
Herman- if you are in the northeast, your welcome to come hear my Berning (in CT).
Thanks everyone for your responses. My current system includes Granite Audio 860.1 (KT88 monos), Consonance 2.2 CDP and Equation 25 speakers. Although tubed, it is very fast, detailed and transparent- perhaps too much so for my tastes. The higher power 300B amps caught my eye as adding a little richness to the midrange, while still keeping much of the positive aspects of the speakers and cdp. It sounds as though a well executed push pull 300B may cost a bit more than than the models I am currently considering. Have a Modwright platinum Sony on the way for my other system (Plinius 9200, Harbeth S HL5), perhaps a similar change of source might be a better option.
