The thing in this case is value. Price the 2105 is worth a lot more money and will suit his needs because he doesn't have enough HP with 25 watts and 31 after upgrades.Here is a setup with a CJ preamp and a pair of Martin Logan Arias

Who posted that youtube video.
Because I think that was MY amp that I sold. It has THAT crack as well as a new in box faceplate when I sold it off.

Putting a good preamp in front of a boring amp doesn't help much IMHO.
The 2105 needs better caps and it needs bias tweaks as well..It can sound decent in the right setup but not in stock form.The W5Ms will sound much better to my taste, but if you need the power,the W5ms won't manage it.
A good tube preamp helps liven the amp up.Schottky diodes in the power supply along with 100uf film caps across the computer grade filter caps are also a masterful improvement.

Which is why I put the kabosh on the trade. Sounds like I made the right decision. Thank you.
