The Octave v70 SE is excellent. Here’s a review fyi… https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/423-octave-audio-v-70-se-integrated- There’s one used available now that’d save you mucho $$$… Another good one to look into is the Audio Hungary A50i. Best of luck. |
To be clear it was not my intention to argue semantics. I was just pointing out that tube amplifiers can be either single ended (SET and SEP) or push pull (PP). Furthermore PP can be class A or class A/B. Perhaps I interpreted your post incorrectly. But it seemed to suggest only class A/B amongst non SET amplifiers. I was attempting to supply clarification. For the record, I am also an advocate of SET amplifiers and an extremely happy long term owner of 300b mono blocks. I concur with your sonic assessment of SET with appropriate speaker pairing.

Audio Mirror Reflection 45s SET monoblocks for $5K. One of the best bargains in audio today. You can add the Audio Mirror Linea preamp for $3K that replaced my $12K reference grade preamp. Vlad is great to work with and stands behind his products 100%. Can’t say enough good things about Vlad and his products. https://www.audiomirror.com/product-page/45w-mono-blocks-set-class-a

@charles1dad Thanks. BTW, I forgot that @brandonw is on here. I would definitely recommend a custom amp from his Apollo Audio Systems to meet the OP's desires.. Jerry |
