Advice or Experience with Tube Amps: 485's or KT170's?
I am looking at purchasing a new tube amp to match a set of speakers with 95db efficiency. In this particular setup, I don't think 300b's will give the needed power across the spectrum. This has led to looking at 845 and KT170 tube amps. Both seem to be answers to retaining some of the positive sonic characteristics of the 300b but with the advantage of gaining higher wattage power. I don't know the strengths or weaknesses of each of these, when comparing sonic attributes. Can anyone offer advice on this? Here are some models I have found in searching online:
Mastersound Compact 845 Integrated
Audion Black Shadow 2 Mono Blocks 845
Viva Solistino 845 Integrated
Allnic T-2000 KT170 Integrated
Ayon Triton EVO KT170 Integrated
Thanks in advance for any advice or experience with any of these or with the two tubes in question.
