MD-805m monoblock is 55 w/ch @ $19,000 HE-805 singe chassis is 45 w/ch @ $45,000 But you will be one of the privileged few who owns the best!

The 211 is a wonderful tube and makes excellent power. It is more difficult/costly to build an amp for it due to its power requirements but it may be worth a listen. If you want slam check out a quality push/pull class A tube amp. A 300b push/pull has plenty of slam with the right speakers. We just made one of these for a customer and it sounds damn close to our single ended interstage coupled 300B but it has the slam that the SET is a little softer on.
