In Reply to: So, which of your 300B amps is your favorite? posted by jbrrp1 on March 15, 2014 at 11:22:13:
Right now my choice would be the Bottlehead Paramount 300B. Price wise it wins hands down. It sounds very good for the type of music I play and is well matched to the speakers.
The AN Legend 300B SEP monoblocks are very nice but one of them is sick and I have been having fits troubleshooting the problem. When it was in the line up, it was very impressive and its 17 Watts really added to it. Now, for Pink Floyd or movie soundtracks I fall back to the Bob Latino ST-70 which can hit around 33 Watts.
I am constantly swapping amps around and the AN beasties are heavy! The ST-70 is no slouch either. The Paramounts are the easiest.
Sound quality: I prefer SET amps most of all. I come back to the Paramount 300Bs and my newest favorite is the Bottlehead Stereomour 2A3 which is hooked up to Dave Dlugo's Frugal Horn with a full range Fostex FE126En speaker. Magic! This being said, buying a matched pair of triodes is a lot cheaper than quads...
