Triode Lab 2A3S - Any Insights?

Hi Fellas,
I've been looking at a Triode Labs 2A3S SET tube amp to run a pair of Klipsch Heresy 3's.  I also have a Benchmark DAC3 and Rogue RP-7 pre in the chain. I have a few sources in the mix as well.

My shelf space is limited so I can't use a bigger amp like a XA25, which was my first choice.  That said, SET's have been something I was looking at trying as I think they should play well with the Heresy's. The Triode Labs sizing is exactly perfect for the shelf I have available, and I think I can afford it. I don't seem to find much info on these in the wild, so I'f love to hear from anyone with experience on these amps.

Thanks in advance!

Triode Lab makes excellent products.  I own a pair of 45 monoblocks and they are really wonderful.  And if you live in the U.S. their products are a bargain because of the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollar.

If I had a comment it would be that these guys offer too many variations of the same product, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Thanks for the input.  I really like the sizing for my shelf I have available.  If the sound is excellent, then that's just icing on the cake.  I figure with the Heresy's I should have enough volume to be happy with that low of an output.

I have enjoyed my Triode 2A3 FFX mono amps for a few years. Going to sell here shortly as I'm getting out of the tube game for simplicity sake.

i too have an FFX 2a3 2019 build with Hashimoto transformers. The FFX build spec is super high and sounds great using Hashimoto Transformers is astounding results.  In any amp the transformers make the amp.

Hello,

Can anyone offer an opinion on which tube (amp) from Triode Labs offers the “sweetest” SET sound? The amp needs to be dead quiet as well. I have 107 dB efficient Avantgarde Duo XD and am looking forward to your thoughts.

Thank you.
