I love my Mid Monos, huge value and sound great . Have used them with several loudspeakers and they never disappoint. They can run 6L6, KT66, KT77, KT88, in addition to EL34. Currently using them with a pair of Heresy III and it is a great pairing. Quicksilvers support is unmatched.
tubes and current
hi all, I current use a 300B SET with a pair of B&W805 D3 sounds good but with obviously drawback that the B&Ws love high current and the 300B SET can only do so much. I've been saving up for a second tube amp for large orchestral music and when I want lush full body sound.
I've been looking between EL34/KT88 amps with 4 tubes vs 8 tubes. I have borrowed a 4x EL34 tube amp before and there was more than enough volume for me, so I don't need 8x tubes for more volume. What I'm wondering is if 8x tubes would produce 1.5x-2x the current produced or is that really just a design of the amplifier not directly related to number of tubes.
Otherwise, any high current tube amp you guys like below $2500 used or new?
Is it worth trying 300B push pull or 845 SET?
Thanks.
