Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it

@jond : Since it has one output tube per channel it will of course stay entirely in Class A operation. Class AB requires a pair of tubes/transistors driven by a phase-splitter circuit.

The glow one looks interesting is that enough power to drive any speakers they’re going to have to be awfully efficient speakers. I was hoping something more in the 6w to 7w range.

Thanks for all your input appreciate everything it seems like a hard thing to fulfill what I want to g to get a good headphone amp and something that will drive speakers all in one package.

Not necessarily hard to accomplish. However it will require more expenditure to get a “good “ quality amplifier for your intended purposes. You’ll be hard pressed to get decent build quality, power supplies and output transformers at dirt cheap cost. Something has to give.

There is the musical Paradise MP 301 MK2 the things I've heard about that the amp part for driving speakers is fantastic headphone is okayish not fantastic but decent.

Okay my budget is $1,500 now what other doors does that open up for me?

@jasonbourne71 True, those power levels are more suitable to headphones, but the significantly higher impedance of headphones might cause the audio quality to be compromised.
