Who makes some of the best without breaking the bank? I was going to do a project with my 845 but want a very good output transformer.
I have seen James Output transformer are good bang for the buck. Also have seen good things about ElectraPrint and Edcor.
I don't want to spend more than $600-$800 on a pair that will handle up to 1kvdc.
Any suggestions?

I like Transcendar and Electraprint. Edcor is excellent bang for the buck but i am not sure if they have the primary impedance in the 25w output for the 845 tube.
I've had the pleasure of listening to Dave Slagle's transformers on several occasions. He builds stellar components. They may be a bit more but worth it. I will be commissioning some big iron from him in the future.

I've used EDCOR GXSE 5W, 10W, and 15W output transformers, in many of my DIY SEUL amplifiers.
Even the 15 watters are cheap ($37), and excellent bang-for-yer-buck!!Steve

There is a company Called Monolith Magnetics too that have some good transformers but they cost just too much for me. I will keep the Magnequest and the Lundahl in mind.
Thanks.
My 211 SETs use Magnequest FS-100 10K OPTs. Really excellent sonics.

I love my SE output transformers from MQ! I'll add that I was really surprised how good my Hammond 1650R PP transformers sound. Of course those are from Canada (and I hear maybe China now??).

I hope that's not true. This hobby will end for me when major components like these can't be sourced from North America.

put Lundahl in your list . they are great value for money and sound good .
I've had excellent results with Lundahl and Kevin is great to deal with.
