300B PSET

I love singled ended 300B for its musicality, tone, refinement, basically that mid range magic. However 6-8 watt 300B in single ended configuration usually lacks low and high frequency extension. Is a well executed parallel single ended 300B amp putting out 18-20 watts the best of both world with better bass and yet retaining that mid range magic?

Charles mentions power supply and output transformers. Try hearing a SET 300b amp with a beefy power supply like a Border Patrol SET 300b amp. You might find this amp gives you the bass control that you seek. If your like me, once you hear that SET mid range magic, you'll have a hard time living with anything else. A SET amp with a well implemented power supply may be what your looking for.

Edoit,
If you do go the PSE route, Audio Note has two kits amps that are PSE. I haven't heard the PSE kits, but I have heard the kit 1 in my home and it makes music. I have heard two 300b PSE amps but have never A/B'd them with SET amps. Folks who have heard both say they give up just a little bit in that SET immediacy.
