300B or 2A3?

Hi Onemug,
To clarify, 8 watts from a 2A3 amplifer would have to be a PSET (Parallel
single ended triode). A single output tube per channel 2A3 is as you said 3-
4 watts. With 98 db sensitive/ 8 ohm speakers for much of the time you're
only using "fractions" of 1 watt at normal listening levels. There
will definitely be advocates for both of these fine DHT tubes as they will
bring your music to life! Like Onemug I'm partial to the 300b SET if built to
a high standard and implemented property. Hueyoz, if I were you I'd try
hear some of these amplifiers. You'll then recognize how they do vary
amongst themselves and sound different even with the same output tubes.
What's your price point? These type of amplifiers cover a very wide
spectrum of cost.
Charles,

Are you choosing between two Audio Note amplifiers? There will be a bunch of folks that can give you a more complete description of the differences but here's my expirience: Two years ago I heard a 4 watt 2A3 amp (a single 2A3 tube per channel) with SPe HE signatures and in the same room, same day, same speakers the Kit One, a 9 watt 300b SET. The 2A3 amp had less punch but more clarity through out the frequency range. The Kit One had a warmer punchier sound. As Charles says, how much clarity a 300b amp has depends on the design. With your choice of music, you may be able to run those speakers with a 45 amp like the Yamamoto A-08 which is 2 watts. Hopefully you'll get a chance to hear both amps because a description will most likely not tell you which amp you will like better.

As already mentioned above, I think you would probably like both the 2A3 and 300B. It's really a matter of personal preferences and until you hear them in your own system you won't know which you prefer. You should get better bass response with the 300B.
I thought someone made an amp that would work with either 2A3 or 300B tubes (Interchangeable), might be something to look into?
At one time I owned Cary 2A3 monoblocks. Now I have an Allnic T-1500 300B integrated. I'm happy with the Allnic.

Charles1dad,
I gotta get 8 300Bs for my next monoblox and am debating whether to buck up for Takatsukis or settle for the EMLs you also like...
Can you shed more light (pun) on their differences please?

Fla,
I don't want to interfere with Hueyoz's thread. I compared the two tubes in depth on my system page within the last month or two. I'd prefer to address this topic over there.
