GM70 SET?

Oops, forgot to add that Oswald Mill has a new GM 70 amplifier as well. Probably will not, however, fit within your stated budget whereas the other custom builders will be pretty close to what you desire to spend. In any event, you can work with them around your budget until you get what you want.

Two outstanding builders that have stellar reputations, great personalities and are knowledgable as heck: Jim Dowdy (North Carolina) and Jeffrey Jackson (Tennessee). Both have sites. Jeffrey has an excellent blog and go to You Tube to see (hear) Dowdy's GM70.

You can also go to the Oswald Mill site and then proceed to the Tastings at the old mill in Pennsylvania. There you can read up on both builders and see some of their creations (including GM70 amps).

Yes, I'm familiar. Not really to my taste, aesthetically. Also, was hoping to spend less than $13k.

Are you aware of the dehavilland GM70 monoblocks. They may be open to customizing them for you if stock doesn't suffice.

I have one of Min's pres, but he doesn't build anything like a high-powered SET.

I got the parts and the case for my SET amp from Min as well. Great guy and reputation, super amps although I've never seen a GM70 amp made by him.

You might try Min at Tube Audio Lab, he's done good by me.
