i just spent 2 wonderful hours comparing these 2 amps side by side. all other variables the same. I have decided that I cant decide which one I prefer. the EL-34's have a gorgeous mid range/the 6550's have a nice defined punchy bass and a wonderful blend across the spectrum. If I HAD to decide i would take the 302 with el 34's.
Follow Ups:
Have either of you tried Response Audio's modified Jolidas? Particularly the 801?
You hit it on the head describing the differences.I had the 302 and loved its human sounding presentation, but sometimes wished I could try 6550's. I must say that the 302 was absolutely fantastic watching movies in 2 channel. The EL 34's really gave dialogue a human quality.
Jolida will do a minor mod on the 302 so that the bias adjustment is able to accept EL34's and 6550's. You can have the best of both worlds at your whim. Also the new amps have remote controlled volume, a nice touch.
Mike from Jolida is really accommodating.

What are your speakers? What type of music? How loud do you listen? How large is your room?These will all decide whether an amp with el-34 tubes will make the grade. This will all be helpful info in helping you decide
