Upon further review….
Until I gain more personal exp this project will be done on a much more limited basis. So it’s a secondary system effort for me going forward.
I simply don’t feel confident enough to move ahead all in with the limited exp I presently have. This means too, speaker choices should have grown a bit.
To date, both EL34 amps I’ve heard I’ve really really loved their sound. The Thor 30’s in triode, and the Dodd monos in ultralinear. And, in that order.
Going forward, speaker choices will attempt to will lend themselves towards easy IMP curves, and higher sensitivities so a future triode amp might could swing with them occasionally.
Blindjim > Charles > your list is quite welcomed. Thanks.
Blindjim > Swampwalker, THX for the nod to Columbia, you’re right. The very next step will be to travel. Do a show or two. Hopefully things will settle up before CES.
BTW… I sort of figured all along relieving the what ever amp of duty below 100 - 120Hz was just about a given, and subs would take over from there down.
Maybe there are some nifty dealerships around the Birmingham area I can check out as that is my next stop for a follow up on some medical issues in a couple months or so.
Inna > One thing is certain - more powerful SET amps done right are very expensive.
Blihndjim > Inna would you mind shooting in a few SET amps done really right options here?
I see nothing with regard to how should I say it, more main stream high eff speaker makers like Coincident … Daedalus… grand Venna… etc. being submitted? Do these ‘main stream’ units pale by comparison to the ones just now listed?
Not efficient enough?
I’m putting Ayon triton III INT, Coincident’s 211 monos, the top Prima Luna monos, Atmas monos, Bernings amp, on the so far short list of tube amps. Manley, VAC and VTL come and go from it periodically. I’ll count out no one at the moment. Nor dismiss buying pre-owned. It ain’t gotta be monos. My pride will accept a 2ch one chassis amp. I just won’t tell anyone about it. Lol
All of the Input here has been and is simply fantastic. And greatly appreciated.
