| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? @charles1dad Here is a picture of the one box solution I referred to especially conceived for you. In fact it was inspired by your system and posts. I see you as the DHT evangelist. Yes, this is a compliment of the highest order Charles. Introduci... | |

| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? @wlutke Did you purchase an amp as yet? If you should decide to buy SS, then I saw this set of amps that are just spectacular. They offer the type of sound and improvements you mentioned in your first post. They would be a great pairing with your ... | |

| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Charles, I did, but that was with completely, totally, absolutely, different speakers! Soundlab M1s with all manner of dramatic impedance swings. | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? I had his Firebottle amp with the KT150 tubes. Tried to drive 92db sentitive speakers in a large space and the combo did not work. I like the build quality and Dennis very much. I was actually selling the amp for a friend and put it into my rig. ... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Kenny, I am working on a 300b mod to my Lyngdorf unit. I will update once finished. I call it the "1DadDHT" mod package. Pictures coming soon! Charles, you will be asked to beta test. | |

| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Good points @stfoth, We have to remember 50 watts with an 805 tube etc, is still a SET amp and the 20% rule comes into play. Speaker matching is still critical. Will it work with a 4-8 ohm, 90db effecient speaker? It depends. Big room, like to lis... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Well great question. Since the OTL amp does not carry the 20% of rated power caution that Ralph has been talking about, and I have experienced, then the Crescendos can use all the watts available in the M60. Better said, most of the power availabl... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? I owned the MA1s when I had my Soundlab speakers. Great amps. I don’t want quite that many tubes. The 60s may be my only real choice. | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? @swampwalker, +1 big time! I have been talking to Ralph at Atma recently as I do want a second amp and want for it to be tubes. SET amps will not work with my current speakers. 6 ohm, 89db sensitivity in a very large room. In order for a SET amp t... |
