New or used. I have 100DB Von Schweikert speakers and don't need more power. I currently own a Rogue Magnum Tempest integrated which is 42 watts in triode. I like it. Do you think going the SET route is a slam dunk improvement?
I use a SET on my 100db speakers with a 2 watt per channel amp, and get plenty of volume. 40 watts is way overkill, and will not sound as good as lower power amps.
Most non-parralel 845 SET dont reach 40 watts, execpt the Bel Canto stereo, or Bel Canto integrated, or Cary 805 C classe a/b. Otherwise some expensive KR product working in parralel mode.
Hi R: You do not need that much power (40w) and will not get it out of a set. You could use a 2A3(3watts), 300b (8watts) very easily if your speakers are 100db w/ decent impedance. The lower power may actually be much better!(less is more)
