Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there?

Hi Charles,

As a further point of info about the VAC Renaissance amps, all of them are described in their respective manuals as being Class A.

Best regards,

In short, avoid the trap of only looking at certain tube types and topologies.

You are in good company. It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said "consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." It's kind of like buying from specs. All designs require tradeoffs. If the designer makes the type of tradeoffs that align w your aural priorities and implements the design well, you'll probably like it. If not, it does not matter which tube or which circuit type he or she uses. Of course, the amps operating parameters must match up well w your speakers.

The issue with running any SET at this output is distortion. To put it another way, you never want to run a 300B at even 8 watts.

A Mastersound Reference 845 puts out 45 wpc, using 845 tunes, I've never needed anything more so far.
