agree with Onemug.The best is to bi-,tri- amp and then you use the low power SET on top and the big p SET on the woofers.That said, I think the 2a3 or 45 is a magic, when used in no-crossover systems.
Low SET versus High SET
Low powered SET tubes:
2a3, 300b, 45 and 50.
High powered SET tubes:
32b, 52b, gm70, 845 and 211
Are there any generalities about the frequency output ranges and sonic characteristics (not power output or consumption) that can be made about low and high powered SET tubes?
What is your favorite high powered SET output tube?
(I'm assuming all are used in SET topologies into a speaker load appropriate to their power output). The question was inspired by the spirited debate about low power tubes in the SET v OTL thread.
Let me know your opinion. Thanks, Jeff
