low power tube amp

thanks
you guys are a wealth of knowledge

yes, i also think the 829 amp is something special.
It had a great review by wall of sound in canada.

I compared it side by side with simaudio moon's flagship integrated amp, and the difference was not even subtle. The 829 had texture and detail way beyond simaudio's

I would ask your amplifier builder once you narrow down your speaker selection as you have a unicorn for an amplifier.   I would also ask him how he built at kt88 SET amplifier. In my 35 years of owning various tube gear have never seen a KT88 SET.   Would definitely audition amplifier and speakers hooked up together.   Power needs are gonna be dependent on material, room size, volume levels etc.   Most likely you have a SEP (pentode not triode) amplifier.

Hi timber77,
Yes,  the distinction between SET  and SEP  was explained earlier in this thread. The actual tube in this amplifier is an 829b.

The low wattage won't damage your speakers.  The only question is whether or not you're getting enough level and do they sound good.  If not and you love tubes, check out:
