Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Tube amp clipping is akin to compression......

I did not say I or anyone NEEDS large power, but I am saying that with a really good sounding SET amplifier that is also more powerful than the typical SET there can be advantages. Big room, but I sit from 4 to 11 feet from the speakers depending on my mood. Typically 82 db peaks, once in a great while I'll boost it to 100 for a minute, but the advantages in dynamics and bass control, as well as in unstrained and unrestrained sound of the mids, is evident at 82db.

Single tube GM100 and single tube QB5 are the configurations I'm talking about for the high powered amps. Other SET amps on hand use 845 (several amps), 45, 300b, 211, 2a3 .......way too many amps, really.
