845 or 300b with Agalme?

Hello, I have Horning Agalme speakers, I think the other horning speakers would be similar but just smaller. and I’m looking to hear who has heard them with 845 and 300b type amps.

 

my room is 28 x 18 dedicated music room

Everything I have read is having me lean toward the Thoress 845 mono’s
 

 

I would appreciate any info.

Thanks, Scott

I repaired a Thoress Full Function Super Preamp. I don’t own a turntable so I did not listen to the phono section which is said to be very good. I did listen to the line stage in my second shop system only. Really just for post repair testing.    I can tell you it had a very warm and richly textured sound. Not the most transparent piece I have heard, but it has that romantic tube sound.

Thanks @grannyring If sound signature of phono similar my chosen parts substitutions should provide exactly what I'm looking for.

Hmm, do you know a good amp guy?

Do you have pics of the internals to judge the damage if any? I think you need a good wood worker to make a new chassis. Put your amp in the new chassis made to fit your top plate and amp perfectly.
