Wavac EC-300B - Feedback Request

I have heard a Wavac 300B in my system and it really, really struggled. It could barely drive my speakers to an acceptable level, and it was clipping at low listening levels. If you buy one, make sure you pair it with efficient speakers.

I have heard the 805 based Wavac SET on my system, and it left a much more favourable impression. It was more linear and had a gorgeous midrange - cool and elegant. It still could not drive my speakers to an acceptable level and was still rather bass shy.

If I'm not mistaken your speakers are 91dB and fall to 3 ohms at one point. Furthermore, the manufacturer recommends 40WPC.

I doubt any 8WPC 300B would perform better than the Wavac.

YMMV

Tube amps should be seen as ONE unit with a matching Speaker (high efficiency, simple X-over...). The magic is in the first few watts.
When it is done right, you hear in the first 3 seconds why 2A3, 45, WE300B and others have such a huge reputation.
I listened in the 90's to such a Wavac 300B - with NOS WE300B -, an Original from Nobu Shishido, in combination with a 99dB Horn Speaker (+slot horn tweeter, fast, fast, fast, a Korean Design) with Basis Debut vac. Graham 2.2 and a Takeda Miyabi Cartridges. It was one of the super rare demos where the Visitors didn't leave the room. They waited the 40 min. for the next 20min run. That was the moment for me, where I got the impression what's all about.
That was the real High End. A perfect combination, a very impressing Demo.
