This is very well spoken, Paul, and I advice I think I am going to heed. It gives me another idea as well; you and another inmate (at least two of you)mentioned using high quality output transformers, and this was not the first time I have heard this about transformers, particularly with SET amps. I realize the flaw in my thinking; having tried to cut corners with OPTX's, assuming the lofty goal I want to achieve, I'm off to a bad start already. Of course this is a subjective thing, but there are proven transformers, and even a host of TX comparisons on the web. I think I am going to do the build without permanently installing any OPTX's on the chassis. The pair I have could definitely be said to be in the budget range, though I have heard good things about them, I am sure better can be had. In this way, I hope it's at least possible to get the feeling of the SET experience while allowing for possible upgrades in the future.
Of the designs you have seen on the net, do any fit the specifics you mentioned in your post? This all started with the Sound Practices article about the W.E. 91A, but I think maybe the JE Labs SE300Bdx looks interesting and in line with your recommendations also? Ah, decisions, decisions...
