Very impressive response and I look forward to hearing the amp at APXONA later this week. Two points of contention. Don's amp is a bespoke amp handcrafted from stem to stern in British Columbia, with components sources worldwide, the best components possible at real world prices. Second, if the bias setting on the 275 as stable as you say, then that is quite fine and takes out most of the PITA fiddliness of lots of tube amps. In contrast, Don's amp has auto-biasing circuitry, but does not warrant the tubes in the same fashion you do, which is quite remarkable. Frankly, for me, I will never buy another amp, not that I can imagine doing to now, that does not incorporate auto-biasing.
I am huge fan of the KEF Blades and I am very impressed that the Crimson amp drives them splendidly, as you have said. I can't wait to hear them at Axpona later this week!
