I had a home built BeePree 300B preamp and NAIM NAP100 power amplifier. That combination gave me the 300B sound and SS power to drive my Focal speakers. Not too expensive and very pleasant to listen to. Such a combination was mentioned earlier by Snowstorm above to use a 300B preamp and solid state power amp to get the best of both worlds.
High powered single end 300b recommendations
I would like to try a se 300b integrated to find out what the famed sound is like. However, at 86db, my Harbeth S-HL5 are not very efficient. They need more like 25-30W to drive them.
Any recommendations on an 300b amp that will work with these speakers?
