The website says it has an output impedance of 10kohms. Could that be a typo ?http://www.wavac-audio.jp/pr-x2_e.shtml 
How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B
The only reason I am trying for this wavac (even though I also like the more powerful Audio Note) is because there is no other amp I have heard which does things that the Wavac can do. My impression comes from EC-300B.

Charles1dad, I dont want to get into something that I have never auditioned. I like Audio Note stuff and have heard them and now I love Wavac stuff having listened to them. I will rather keep it within these two brands. I removed Sophia Electric a...

By the way, Westminister Royal is not suppose to be an easy to drive speaker, even though it is 99db sensitive. It needs amps with very good control AFAIK. 
How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B
It is clear that each 300B amp have different capabilities in driving a speaker, especially a real world speaker. Can the MD-300b do it ?

I have tried some 300B amps with my Tannoys in my room. The Audio Note Conquest with 18 watts (parallel single ended 300B) could easily drive it. But when we talk about only 8-10 watts I do not know yet.

Art Audio Jota VS Audio Note Conquest
Maril555, your experience is terrifying. I am buying it pre-owned so thankfully I do not have to deal with AA dealers specifically. 
Pass Labs SIT2

Audio Note M6 - dark and thick sound ?

Audio Note M6 - dark and thick sound ?
Thanks for the replies.I could possibly get a pre-owned Graaf GM50 power amp. Line Magnetic and Sac Thailand are also two options I can look for. Any experiences with these ? 
Sophia Electric 91-01 and 91-5 300B
Dilly, thanks for that input. Which preamp are you using with the Sophia amps ? Did you consider their higher models, 91-03 and 91-05 ? 
Sophia Electric 91-01 and 91-5 300B
Isochronism, thats me on AA :-)Martingren, thanks for that input. Could you please suggest a few 300B amps that you like ? 
Question on FR 66s
Thanks Halcro.At present I use two unipivots, Naim ARO and 47 Labs RS-A1. Both are very fast and open sounding tonearms. I will now try out a FR64s and possibly report back on this same thread.
