I spoke to Don the other day about his pre amps, and the X3.It doesnt sound like he's working on a 45 only amp. He is working on a new 2a3, and has 2 new preamps coming out. As sweet as the 45's are, one guy I know prefered his 45 only Korneff to the 45's in his FI. He really liked Don's amp but did his higher wattage listening through a 300b - nice luxory to have multiple amps! I think it's great to be able to switch flavors in one amp, and don't have the real estate for a 2 amp setup.
Unfortunately, a new room is forcing me to give up on my horn/2a3 combo. So i'll be going up in wattage soon.

Thanks. Do you know how the Korneff is different from the Fi X/45?
I don't know the Korneff schematic, but the Fi X is the simplest amp I have ever seen (with the exception of spud/one-stage amps). It has, if my memory serves me right, 4 capacitors (3 in power supply plus 1 to cathode-bias the driver tube) and roughly the same number of resistors each side. In such a system, one would think that it sounds great because of the synergy of carefully chosen parts and component values. Yet, being designed for 2A3, it sounds curiously awesome with 45. So there.
