High powered single end 300b recommendations


I would like to try a se 300b integrated to find out what the famed sound is like. However, at 86db, my Harbeth S-HL5 are not very efficient. They need more like 25-30W to drive them.

 

Any recommendations on an 300b amp that will work with these speakers?

This doesn't seem like a good fit. You can get 15-16W from a parallel 300B SET, but unless you listen at very modest volumes and have a fairly small room, an amp like this is probably not going to meet your expectations.

or this one, do not let the ratings fool you, this one will do the job.  

 

A true SE amp 300B is only 8 wpc , if you go into pure class A around 18wpc 

25 wpc in pure class A solid state like Pass Labs you can operate your Harbeths on .tubes maybe a Ayon Scorpio around 40 wpc in Pentode which is cleaner and better then ultralinear  tubes.
