I use a pair of Boston Acoustic A70's with my 299(A) and those are only 90db. It works fine in the relatively small room I'm in - maybe 500 square feet?? Some of this will depend on the volume you demand and the type of music you listen to.Tube brands are also very much a matter of individual choice. Telefunken is one of the most highly sought after brands for 12AX7, that doesn't mean it's the one you will ultimately come to like the best. I have a set of them in my 299A but I also use a set of RCAs from time to time and I have some old GE blackplates that I use sometimes too. I've never decided that any one set is the "best", but they are different. That's the fun thing about tubes - you can alter the sound of your amp, just for fun, when you feel like a change.
Schematics should be available on the hhscott site (www.hhscott.com). Also, you might want to get a SAMS Photofact for the 299A, which has a complete parts list and the schematic. I do not remember where I got mine, but if you look around on google you should be able to find one - they might be available on the scott site too.
