"The question is , is now the time to try a SET tube amp ?"
Yes, now is a great time. I would recommend a 300b amp, not because that's
what I like (which I do) but for reasons based on what I think would
"marry" better with your 4.1's. Although if a particularly good deal
comes up on a 2a3 based amp, I'd say go for it.
"How long do the tubes tend to last ? "
Depends how hard the designer runs them. In general, they should last for at
least a couple of years.
