300 watts of tube power puts out a LOT of heat, that would be my main consideration on big tube amps.
Debating between Mcintosh SS or tube monos.
I have heard Mcintosh solid state 611 (600 watts) but I have not heard tube monos 2301 (300 watts). Will be using with different speakers overtime.
How much of a difference will I really hear between ss and tubes? Will it be obvious on a really revealing system? Any problem buying a used tube mono that is 4 to 6 years old?
I like the idea of tubes being less harsh and less fatiguing.
Anybody directly compare these two?
