One is a solid/competent class AB push pull design utilizing indirectly heated pentode tubes. The other is pure class A, simple SET circuit utilizing directly heated tubes (DHT) with natural and emotionally involving palpable sound. Two different levels of amplifiers. Charles

If you have relatively efficient speakers(and easy load characteristics) I'd strongly consider the Coincident 845 Turbo amplifier. For more information there's a current review on 6 Moons.com. A 845 SET amplifier is terrific for your musical taste. The sound is exceptionally natural and realistic. The direction is music reproduction more so than hifi emphasis. Good Luck,
