Hi there,

The MS-20/25 and 30 are what I call "Borderline" 300B compatible. Their very simple Crossover, easy and relatively high impedance and usefully high sensitivity does allow them to be used reasonably successfully with such Amplifiers.

So if you find a 300B Amp in your pricerange, do consider it. Unfortunatly the lower powered Triodes (2A3 and co) are OUT.

I PERSONALLY would say Yes. But I know soem will disagree.
