Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP)

Plenty of Chinese products use top notch parts from all over the world, not limited to using only Chinese parts. And yes, nearly every audio component made in more recent past and today is hybrid Chinese product.

And I don't mean to say the Willsenton cannot be reliable, research it and if it has good track record it could work out.

I don't know impedance curve of your speakers, but with 98db sensitivity 845 should work. With that sensitivity and benign impedance curve 300b is even possible, can't have severe slope or drop down below 6ohm.

Keep in mind 805 and 845 amps are space heaters, they'll heat up your room in summer. But then SET sound sublime.

@blkwrxwgn I had the same (PP vs. SET) itch that I just had to scratch. I had only owned PP amps thus far, but recently had a chance to acquire a Rogers High Fidelity 65-v2 class A SET amp based on EL34. While it does not have the juice to drive less efficient speakers or 'rock the house' if you will, there is something about the design that just pulls you in. I can't pinpoint any specific area but all I can say is that the way it presents music has an emotional, ethereal appeal that the PP amps simply cannot match at the same level. Of course, PP has its own strengths and can provide the same emotional connection. But I just feel that SET does it a little better. You do pay a price in terms of dynamics and bass output though.

Of course speaker matching and your preferred genre of music is going to be a determining factor. But if you can find a used Rogers 65-v1 or v2, you won't be disappointed. It is built by hand in the USA, point to point wiring, superb build and looks. I'm pairing it with Fritz Carrera BE speakers in my study, and I can honestly say it's the best sound I've had in this particular room so far.

Thank you @arafiq that's nice to hear, I think I'm going to hold out for a SET amp but almost pulled the trigger on these beauties, still thinking about it.

Exactly, I think this buy amercian thing is stale now.

I would suggest the OP to seriously Consider the LM-845 Premium Version. Bypass the built in Pre-amp with out outboard Pre-amp.

You can also buy a outboard pre-amp later, The LM-845 Prem Version is a better class better reliability unit than the local Chinese LM version that is being flogged for pennies by Chinese Distributors on Aliexpress and other Chinese sites.

Stick to a dealer, this way support and parts will be free. The Premium version was built for higher reliability and is sold at a higher cost from factory.
