Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Re: Do not be too quick to condemn the king of DHT's, the 300B

I can't remember if it was you, but someone suggested I listen to the WE 300b, which I duly did and I was truly impressed. It seems reading below that Mark has need of three tubes in all, so I'm sure as there isn't really a competitor to the 300b that's 10 or 12 watts amongst the ones under discussion I'm sure it'll fit into his plans somewhere, I suppose he'd be tempted to go for the midrange driver and many would recommend that, but I'd say the 45 for the money does that better than the sub WE standard 300b's and he stated already he can't afford the WE, or would rather buy the PX4/25 at that money. I'm not too sure about that, perfect condition PX series don't come up very often, one major UK valve dealer gets about 3 a year and has a waiting list a mile long, at least the WE is a new tube and he can be more confident in longevity and replaceability. But maybe the sub WE 300b's for the base section?

Mark has a very unusual request to most people here I'd say, certainly to me with one speaker per side, DHT SET isn't usually about tri amping, but good luck to him, maybe someone else out there has done this?
