I would have thought your comment on a SET amp being a poor choice for for a head banger about as safe and uncontroversial as possible… hmm, I guess everything can be challenged.
Tube preamp topologies and music
I am searching for a tube power amplifier. I know very little (nothing) about what the pros and cons of tube topologies as they relate to certain types of music.
as an example, let’s take hard rock/heavy metal. It seems to be the consensus that say 300b single ended amps would be the wrong choice even if you had 100+db efficient speakers. Why is this?
Also, tube compliment. 211? EL84? 300B? I understand that they have power output differences, but what else?
I welcome everyone’s input.

@jasonbourne71, spot on. OP I would look at Quicksilver Audio see here. Mike |
thinking about it, I am pretty sure I was using the term "metal-head" in that discussion I alluded to in which I was corrected, not "head banger." I better correct my misquote that I made in case there is an important distinction between the two. Regardless, I was told (in no uncertain terms) that 4 wpc of SET can make the right speakers scream. I have no experience whatsoever with ANY watts of SET, so on that subject I can only relate what I was told. |
