RE: This was in the Roy Gregory Review

Interesting quote from Roy. But I think Roy is talking about something entirely different - a massive sense of scale. I think I'd be happy to just hear a convincing drum set sound from my friend's system. It doesn't have to physically assault me just sound like it is a real drum set.

We have not tried any amp with 4 power pentodes per channel. We have though tried many DIY amps with KT88 tubes and the Cary amp had two KT88s per channel. I'm surprised that you think 4 pentodes per channel would be necessary - the PREs are very easy to drive speakers - 94db and 8ohms (never dropping below 6ohms). Coincident even suggests 3 watts is enough.

Thanks for the info - it does help to get other opinions.
