Re: How good is the sound of 6BM8 based tube amps?

In a fairly standard power amplifier circuit, I used a pair of well- made output transformers taken from an older Sansui amplifier. While the original Sansui design left something to be desired (too many unnecessary features and gizmotronics), the transformers were excellent quality; and from the resulting amplifier I have built, which uses a pair of 6BM8s in PP, though producing only about 7-8 watts maximum power, the sound is wonderful, and as good as any EL84 amplifier I have owned.

They are very dynamic and transparent.

These things are so hot that I am ready to join a cult, and have already located an ornate metal box into which I plan to rebuild the amplifier.
