Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR


Which do you prefer; S.E.T. Princess 300B Carbon Plate or KR 300B WE Clone?

I've only experienced NOS 40's/50's WE so my expectations are pretty high. Which do you think captures the essence of the WE most closely? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible so EAT is not an option, as much as I was blown away by their KT88. I considered current WE but they're not in production until Spring 2011.

Sakahara,
Sorry to hear that, these are very tough times for many right now. I surely hope your situation improves soon.
Sincerely,

Tvad: I'm sorry. I'll buy the cheaper 300B tubes.

Fyi, I wasn't looking at the $650 EML 300B XLS.

Sakahara,
Only you know your current financial status relative to your previous standards (thus the need to sell your current speakers). This economy has affected many in a variety of ways, obviously some more than others. You certainly don`t need to apologize to Tvad or anyone else.
