I wanted to experience the 300b sound. So I got the Woo 300b amp for my headphone system. I also put in Takatsuki tubes in them. Honestly my headphone system became incredible sounding. So much so that I had a hard time listening to my $70K main system. The realism, natural musicality, detail… emotional draw. So, this caused me to completely upgrade and reconfigure my main system. Now both my main system have the same character, detail, midrange bloom, emotional connection. It is an all Audio Research Reference system… but you get the same warmth, natural sound, detail, musicality with the foundation series and even the integrated.
Let me suggest, you are going at this in the most difficult way possible. Trying to power a main system with a 300b is a very difficult thing requiring lots of big compromises. You can get the character in a main system and with lots of power by using Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Cary, or VAC. You can then choose from lots of great speakers.
If you must experience the best the 300b has to offer… get a headphone amp and power some great headphones. You can see my headphone system and main system under userID. A fantastic headphone system will cost 1/10th thst of a main system and you can get the magic of the tube through great high power components made to power the pajority of speakers on the market.
