IME, the subtleties of flea-power amps are much more apparent with headphones. Even the best speakers are usually "muddied" by the listening environment to an extent that masks the lower-level nuances produced by these amps. It's extremely difficult to beat the SE EL84 or 6V6 with a near-direct path to the ears. :)

The Sound Quest SQ84-V2. Use it to run my HD800's.
I have a house full of expensive speakers but that's the best sound in the house.
I got some NOS 6V6's from Upscale Audio. System sounds wonderful.

Same here, I'm also using SE 6V6 (self-designed). My lower-tier Grados sound really terrific with this amp, there's clearly some level of synergy taking place. I'm working on an all-triode design at the moment, but I have no idea yet what to expect in terms of sonic differences. It will definitely be hard to beat the dynamics and clarity of the 6V6s.
