Which high power SET

I own Cary 805 monos which are also probably worth a listen if there's a dealer in your 'hood.

i owned a wavac 572 years ago w/ watt puppy6s. bass was always an issue, clipped a lot, but never had that midrange tone in my room before.

haven't since either. and i'm still trying.

volume pots in signal path are best removed. found build quality was fair at best, and also had a burned wire requiring a fix (really amps are simple enough circuit anyone local can fix it). cary being in states would matter to me just in case...

Any suggestions on that PSE suggestion ?
Feel free to PM me , if you wish .

I'll bet a dollar sounds real sells the brand he recommends (and didn't disclose it.)

I hate to pop your bubble but OTOH, I will probably save you a lot of heartache too so:

The Harbeth is a revealing speaker but not particularly efficient. Its efficiency (and efficiency matters more to tube amps than sensitivity FWIW) is low- only about 85 db. For those that think it is higher keep in mind that Harbeth rates in sensitivity and the impedance of the speaker is 6 ohms. When you do the math 85 db is about right.

You will find that you are better off with a push pull amp that can make some power. There are several reasons for this, not the least of which is that the more powerful the SET is, also the less bandwidth it has. In this case any 20-30 watt amp is going to fall on its face right away.

To take advantage of an SET's characteristics (low distortion at lower power levels) you really do need some efficiency, at least 10 db higher than what you have for the amps mentioned. The only caveat here is if you plan to listen in a small room and in the near-field. Otherwise, seek a 100-200-watt amplifier for the average American listening room.
