Thank you all for your thoughts so far. I love the clarity and transparency of 300B SET, guess this is the famous addiction. I'm holding off on moving to a used large Class A SS like Mark Levinson for now. Couple clarification I have for anyone who can help,
- Based on my research, my next best option up would be to get a 300Bx4 parallel SET like Consonance Reference 5.5 MkII or a bigger triode like 845/805. Anyone with experience with sound quality of parallel SET or 845? Do 845 really give out space heater like heat?
- Lots of people happy with 845 w/ only around 25watts claiming a good 845SET can drive most speaker, can anyone concur with such statement?
- I've started pairing up my 300B SET with a subwoofer to help with 40hz and below base, I'm wondering if this is as good as it gets so I should just save my money and not further go down on another tube amp.
- Do bigger and heavier tube amp transformer directly improve sound quality? Should I entertain more expensive 300B amps with heavier transformers like those from Sophia Electric?
Thanks all.
