| 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... | |
| The 300B World There is SET design trade off - coupling capacitors vs interstage transformers. Most people tell that transformers are the best solution. But modern capacitors like Vcup, Duelund, Jupiter are better that were available 20 years ago. Technically ca... | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos Hi @jplunkettj , There are a lot of information about crossovers for Altec on Jeff Day page. Jeff prefers Hiraga schematic crossover for his Altec speakers. https://jeffsplace.positive-feedback.com/ https://jeffsplace.positive-feedback.com/%e2%... | |

| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos Here are my two cents about Werner Jagusch crossovers. I used my Altec 604E with the original n1500 corosvers. Then I bought Werner Jagusch crossovers. First impression was very good, but then I realised that the sound is too coloured. I bought a ... | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos I have experience with Aletec 604E that has similar sensitivity to Altec 846A. In the mid size rooms that I had 200-300 sq feet, 300B SET has enough power. I used McIntosh MC30 monoblocks (30+ watt), Marantz 8B in triode mode (20 watt), and 300B ... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Hi @mihorn , Some legendary vintage speakers produce sound stage depth very well. For example, Quad ESL57, Tannoy coaxial speakers from 50x-70x. |
