| 300b lovers Hi @charles1dad , I don't have practical experience. But theoretically 300B is winn-winn vs 845. 1. Output transformer has wider bandwidth. 2. Easy to drive. Driver tube and driver transformer. 3. Easy to build a high quality PS for 400v vs 10... | |
| 300b lovers The output transformer for 845 SET should be at least 10K Ohm. And it can't be as wide a bandwidth as a 3K output transformer for 300B. Another issue is that driving 845 tubes is much more difficult. A well designed 845 SET will always be inferio... | |
| 300b lovers Hi @lynn_olson , Thank you for very interesting information. Do you have any data high order distortion in 6F6 and 6V6 in a thiode mode? A friend of mine use 6BX7 double triode for driving. Is there any information about 6BX7? I heard 2 SET ... | |

| 300b lovers I heard that Sakuma used 300b driver tube for 300b. He always used transformer for coupling. To get 27 watts from the 300b push-pull it should be class AB. | |
| 300b lovers I have had a DIY 300B integrated stereo amplifier since 2006 built by one guy. But in all this long period of time I did dozents upgrade myself. The amplifier has 6sn7 input, 6f6 (in triode mode) driver and 300B. Cathode bias and C coupling betw... | |
| Modifying Crossovers I used my Altec 604e with the original N-1500 crossover. After 10 years I bought an autotransformer DIY crossover from Germany. I liked it more than the original one. As I understand lately the schematics of this new crossover wasn’t good but bet... | |
| The 300B World Hi @charles1dad , You are right. Small companies still produce SET friendly speakers. On Montreal Audio Show I saw Coherent Audio speakers that use Radian 18" coaxial drivers. They worked very good with 300B integrated SET. They also sound much ... | |
| The 300B World It is sad, that most of famous producers that made tube and SET friendly speakers in the past like Tannoy (Silver, Red), JBL (model - L200. drivers - LE15, 2234) and now Klipsch build speakers and drivers that designed for transistor amplification... |
