Thanks guys, the larger of the amps you see are my home brew Parallel 845 SETs (running in A1 and A2 on peaks) that drive the ESLs and Mid Bass Towers. They started life as a pair of old Ming Da integrated amps but I completely redesigned them, turning them into Monos in the process. I worked to the existing tube sockets and only had to modify the chassis to cater for tube rectification. I used the same mains trannies but swapped the OP traffos to Lancroft C-Core and had enough room to fit a big choke where the other OP traffo used to live. Tube compliment is Siemens Cca to Ruskie 1578 to 6H30P-DR to 845M. Tube rectification is 6D22S for HT and 6BY5 for driver and gain stages.
My 845 amps will run 75W each and I have a couple of 600W Class D SS amps to drive the Subs. Although it's a huge room to fill with too much glass and a concrete floor this seems to be a very good match.
FWIW, the smaller amps in the pic are my 300B / 2A3 / 45 SETs that I play with from time to time. Although I use other speakers for these they will run my MLs, albeit at modest levels.
