Custom Builder For P/P Power Pentode Amplifier

Hello All,

This is not a request to debate the merits of SET vs Power Pentode (push/pull) amplification. Instead, it is a request to the community for recommendations for any custom builders you know of (e.g., Niteshade, Trafomatic) who are quite good at this craft of building a p/p power pentode amplifier. These will be integrated with speakers that are :

A 2-box ( per channel ) loudspeaker, where the full-range module (7” driver) is physically separated from the bass module. The latter has three 6.5” drivers into a 4 ‘ long horn. Bass module is driven by its own FET custom amplifier. Overall sensitivity 102 db/w/m. Nominal impedance 8 ohms and frequency response of 18Hz to 20Khz.

Again, this is not a request for arguments pro and con. I am beyond this now. It is a search for recommendations for the very best builders for this kind of amp. Many of the builders that are ofter shared are really into SET as opposed to what I am looking for.

Thanks for your help.

You asked for "the very best builders" for a push-pull amp. That would definitely include Fred Volz. I have a custom pair of his push-pull Vita monoblocks that can take 6L6s, EL-34s, 6550s, KT-66s, KT-77s, KT-88s and KT-120s. I recommend them highly. Fred is also a great guy and fun to work with. Here's a link to the Custom page on his website:
