What about SET with 300B tubes, in parallel design? such a design is viable? will deliver more than 10W of power I presume... If viable, I don't know..

SETs are simple straight forward designs but to be successful require high quality parts especially the output transformer. High quality transformers are not inexpensive. This point is amplified in regard to the 211/845 power amplifiers. 3 00b SETs can sound fabulous but need really good transformers and high quality power supplies. You can't go cheap in these 2 areas. Charles
