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?
You might check out Manley. They have 300b mono’s you can switch between SE and push pull, 12 and 25 watts, respectively. They have a 300b pre, as well.
If you want a high powered push pull 300b. Look at a canary reference 8 300b s in each channel. They have smaller amps as well. Also look at the western electric new integrated amplifier is is single ended 300b s wired differently so the power doubles up. Both of those recommendations are not for the faint of heart nor the empty billfold.
