Where Have All the 2A3 Amps Gone


2A3 amps seem to have fallen out of favor with designers. Does anyone know why?

It is a pity. I was hoping, that we will get more high efficient speakers in our modern time (with our technology it shouldn't be problem), but there is no change. Always the same 86dB-92dB Speaker Stuff.
Some years ago I listened to such an amp with a good 100dB System and it was very good. Some say, the truth is in the first watt...
But unfortunately it is a real task today to walk that road...
Atmasphere, That's good news!!! 16 watts is just right. Hopefully you'll offer 16 ohm output trannies too. Can you say approximately when it will be ready?
Atmasphere, forgive my ignorance (re trannies). I didn't know it you. Your current amplifiers are OTLs. Question for you. My speakers are Zu Presence which contain an onboard subwoofer amp. Are there any concerns connecting your OTLs to such a speaker?
Yes, as Syntax mentions, there is the need to pair up these amplifiers with highly efficient speakers of a good design.

I am aware of one talented chap in Europe that has a very good highly efficient speaker design. Unfortunately, he is also famous for missing delivery schedules, so now new orders are restricted because customers have resisted prepaying with him; therefore, they are resultantly resisting suffering the interminable wait...delivery miscues have become the internally driven bottleneck to restrict the future order flows.

It would be nice if the high efficient speaker space would increase.
