211 SET

Posted by Rocket_Powered on September 7, 2021 at 13:23:12:
I also had a couple of 300B based amps, mated earlier with a pair of Silverline Audio monitors that weren't very efficient, that sounded great in my room (also had a powered sub and an active crossover with that setup). It played plenty loud to me with the pot on the pre at ~11 o'clock.

After the move to full range floorstanders, the 300B amp(s) still sounded pretty good, but the lower freq lacked definition - as I removed the sub and the crossover.

Now I have a pair of mono's with 211 tubes driving the same floorstanders - that was an eye (or should I say ear?) opening experience. The highs were there, the mids were mostly there (300B had tad more midrange 'warm'), AND the lows were also there.

Safe to say, I never looked back, and can sit listening to the system for hours on end.
