Choosing Components for a Hi Fi System
If full range speakers are selected for the front/center/right channels then one sub will work fine. Linn AV 5140 speakers are very attractive and take up less floor space than your average high end metal stand for a bookshelf type speaker; they a...

The entry wavac 300b is around 7000 and is a DC couple interstage design with custom Tango transformers. This is maybe the optimal design type for a single tube SET amplifier; very expensive to produce.Try to source the necessary transformers to b... 
Golden Tube amps
Hard to go wrong with a McIntosh MC240 or MC225; both around 1000 to 2000 depending on condition. Runners closer to a grand to 1500; pretty ones closer to 2000. Great amps with some minor upgrades to the components.

300b amplifier chassis
yes, but the parmetal enclosures are not what we want. We are using an open chassis design. The Parmetal is fine for a power supply but it does not look like it belongs in a flagship level product; ie, it looks cheap. we have a parmetal for a powe... 
300b amplifier chassis
Joe,I followed up and will probably order some chassis from this fellow (Christian). The price of 100 is rather misleading, though. By the time we get it in the size we need for a dual monaural interstage design (two chassis measuring 17x12x3 ea),...
