My original audio mentor, Robert W. Fulton ( 1925-1988 ) would never allow me to use a WE300B. He says, in his time, the best audio people knew not to use the tube. He was AMAZED in the 1980s, that members of the public would covet it !!!

At the end of the day its just another tube enabling great of poor results depending on how you use it.
I happen to love Audio Note E (HE) loudspeakers, and with 98dB you need 5-6 watts. I just don't have room or guts for horns, so this is what I have to look at at the output. I tried 2A3's, but power is simply too low.
Results also depends largely on how you drive the 300B. I see a LOT of 300B implementations using wimpy drivers. You really need a VT25 to drive these tubes at their best.
In my setup and on my speakers I get the naturalness of the 2A3, the midrange of the 300B and the pace and soundstage of a 211. I'm happy with that.
As friend and foe will agree upon, the ER-300B is actually no 300B at all. Its just another tube using the oppoints of the original WE 300B.
I'm looking forward to the results I can obtain from these :)
