Need amp suggestions for Hedlund Horns....


A few months ago, I heard a Cary 300b amp hooked up to some small monitors and was blown away... so the itch to upgrade started.

I just bought used a pair of Hedlund horns... came with it (free) was a diy homemade tube amp that does not sound adequate (based on what I heard these horns can do).

I’m in the market for a used amp that would be the ideal match for these Hedlunds. From what I read, I have several options such as 300b, 2A3, etc. but what would you recommend?  I've never had a low-power SET amp before.  

My room is 25’x 30’ with vaulted ceilings (large enough), wood floors, fairly open. I listen to everything from classic jazz, horns, classical, vocals, and the occasional rock. I would love to have some volume to feel the energy and texture of the song.

Are the speakers in your profile picture hedlund horns??  Hedlund horns are massive (close to 7 feet tall).  Anyway, do you live in southern CA?  I would love to match my amplifier with your speakers.  I have a Woo Audio WA-5.  It's a 300B SET with Takatsuki 300B tubes.  It cost a lot, but I'm really impressed with the build quality and sound so far.  I have my eyes on a set of Medallion IIs with Lowther drivers.  You really have a nice set of speakers. 
Rvnye,
I've haven't heard the Woo Audio 300b SET but it has a very good reputation for sound quality. I used a Takatsuki pair in my amplifier for 3 years and know their excellence. I'm confident that your Woo would be a wonderful match with the Hedlund speakers.
