40 watts of SET beats 40 watts of anything else IMHO...
I *like* the loudness button!

Hi LAN, do you have any pictures? With this new business I enhareted (sp) a small electonics workbench so I want to build an amp and I like the big tube look. Cheers.
The 805 isn't quite a foot tall, but it's close. With about 950 Volts, you'll get 50 Watts in Class A. See the Antique Sound Lab Explorer 805. I have a schematic; if you'd like it, e-mail me at jeffreybehr(at)cox(dot)net.
Meanwhile, I'm going the other way with a cigar-box-sized Music Reference EM7 amp, a 2.5WPC SET.
