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)

I wasn't really suggesting you buy the Blackbirds, just that if you do the 300b route I really think PP is best IMHO.  My system is fully balanced from Pacific 2 through to the amp speaker terminals.  It is so quiet that I cannot even tell it is on when idling away.  So I like balanced with transformer coupling, but we all have our taste and needs.

Ref atmasphere's post. It depends on how much distortion one is willing to tolerate. An SE amp with a pair of 300Bs will not put out 15 watts @1%thd.

I have a pair of triode labs parallel  300b amps.  Made in Japan.  I love each system  I have for different  reasons.  The voice is to die for. It is quick and musical base is there but I have other systems  that are better in that department
