300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel?

Felix Audio makes the dual 300B amp "Lybra"--are there any other manufacturers of that gear?.Does anyone have experience using two each 300B tube amps modified to be two monoblocks with 15/16 watts output power each? If yes, did you hear any difference in the exquisite 300B sound other than more power? All experiences and thoughts appreciated. (Yes, expense is already noted)

dseltz,

I've heard, and really liked, the Charney Companion with the BD3 driver, in a system driven by a SET 300B amp.  While this amp does deliver more power than a 45 SET, I know your system can get quite loud while remaining clean.  It is hard to say what others feel is loud, and your room size and characteristics do play a part, but, if it sounds good to you don't worry.  Even if you exceed 25% of rated power, at peaks, so what?  You will not be hurting anything with your setup and your ears will tell you if you are clipping excessively.
