Affordable SET's with 211 or 300B tubes, (2000 dolllars maximum)

Just got the new NobSound 300B SET monoblocks with JJ Tesla tubes, Japanese transformers, European capacitors and resistors (high quality ones) and American fittings/bindings. Checked the units carefully and they are well built with precisely the components NobSound describes. It's $1169 delivered by expedited UPS from Shenzhen, China (the skyscraper capital of the world).

Chinese amps are not favored on this site but I have been listening to it for a week now and it is very good. In particular, the 98db S/N ratio is better than most SET amps and the unit is dead black quiet. Give it a look see -- it is on Amazon, EBay, and Douk Audio.

Using Tekton Double Impact speakers, these monoblocks have enough power to blow you into another dimension. Have vetted them carefully with REW and frequency, distortion, and impulse response is all superb. Have reviewed them on the Amazon site. Will just pass along this information and not provide further responses as Chinese products bring out the kind of thread ugliness that I will be avoiding.
