Amps Using the 211 Tube


All things being equal (built quality, part quality, good design, etc) will a SE amp using the 211 tube sound better (I know it is subjective) than SE amps using other more typical tubes such as 6L6, etc? I want to know if there is something special about an amp using the 211 tube as far as sound quality.
Thank you

My faves are 300b and 2a3 amps but I have been using (sometimes) a 211 SET on my Maggie 3.6's. I like the sound I'm getting from it.

Everyone will have their own taste. I wouldn't call the 211 any more special than my 300b, it's "horses for courses" and the Maggies like the 211. I did put the 211 on my hi-eff system and there's still that triode magic but I prefer the 300b on that system.

So the classic answer: It depends.
You would be better served using an amplifier with 845's. Fuller midrange..not lean sounding.
I've listened to many amps driving large horn speakers at my favorite local audio store and have not heard better sound than Consonance Cyber 211 mono amps.The sound (tonality,PRAT,Bass,dynamics,soundstage)is so real;you feel like you are with the band/performers in the studio or at the live venue!!! There is also a Raysonic tube amp in that room which is as good/maybe better.I will check with the owner about its tube compliment.
First off you are comparing two different class of tubes i.e. triode vs. beam tetrode. Typically I prefer the sound of a true triode tube when compared to a tube that is wired for triode operation. I too prefer the 845 tube over the 211 tube.
I love DHT tubes!
But I agree with onemug, just about any answer concerning audio components/sound could begin with "It all depends"
