300B SET Tube Amp recommendations anyone??


Hello.

I am in the market for a used 300B "push-pull" SET monoblock amps and my budget is around $3000. I have short speaker cables and would like to keep them so single chassis stereo amp recommendations are not needed.

My Coincidents are 92db efficiency and would like at least 15 watts for each amp. I've been out of the amp loop for a while and would like to hear you top picks. I'm not a huge detail kind of guy, however, I do thrive on solid, tight bass and smooth mids. My music preferences are vocals, instrumental and rock (all vinyl).

Thanks for your recommendations.

Harry- if you can stretch it to ~ $3,600-$3,700 USD, a used Art Audio Jota would be an excellent choice, although it is a stereo amp. A buddy of mine who is local to you and I (just outside of the GTA) has one he may be willing to part with as a possibility- there is also one on Audiogon right now used, but higher $$$. Alternatively, if you want IMO the best stereo SET amp at ~ 20 watts, my Wyetech Topaz is pretty damn good, but it's 572/211, not 300B. And my buddy and I also use Coincident speakers. Too bad they have to be monoblocks... Well, you could always take a look at Israel Blume's (President- Coincident) new 300B monoblocks that are coming out- the design is very good and he is using primo parts as well- not sure abotu pricing though...

Dogpile,
Pushpull and SET are two different things. Which do you want? If you mean triode then yes there are pushpull triode amps, but SET is the opposite of pushpull.
