Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!!

His latest amps definitely require proper speaker matching to perform their best.

Having been through three different Cary amps originally designed by Dennis and lastly  a Dennis Had Inspire Hot Rod amp (8-10w), an audio buddy and I messed with too many different speaker combos, trying. He got it right, and I did not. For my lower efficiency speakers I had to go back to a bit higher power mono tube amps with a bit more drive to get my speakers to light up properly at lower volume levels.

How OP @tinear123 has his set up now, with separate amps driving low freq, is the way to go, imo, that is the ticket.   I can imagine its very enjoyable, 👍

The Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B is definitely a keeper. At one time I wanted to purchase one but the process and method is not for me. Enjoy your new amp :-)

@tinear123 Thanks for your detailed reply describing your horns. I almost updated my Oris 200 (AER drivers)/BD15 bass bins to the Orpheans but discovered open baffle and the rest is history. 

Congratulations on the new amp and GLWYS of your horns and Coincident amps. 
 

So, after 3 days with my new Inspire PSE 300B, I could not be any happier with the amp.  I'm stunned in the improvement over my trusty Coincident Frankenstein monoblocks that have defeated all challengers for the last 5 years.  

Specifically, the areas that PSE bested the Frankensteins were the lower midrange, the power and clarity of the highs, and the simply huge amounts of air and space around the instruments & performers.  The soundstage also expanded about 20% in width BUT at least +50% in depth.  Downsides?  The only one I can come up with is the amp does run hot but that is the logical outcome of having 4 300Bs and a total compliment of 10 tubes. 

@tinear123 

Congratulations !!

It is good to read that you are very happy with your new amplifier.
