I'm not sure if this will be understood. It is just my opinion. 300b's and 845's don't have a lot of power. Good 300b's/and 845's can cost much more than 1k;used. Whereas, a decent triode amp will cover the highs and lows better---for less money.(and get you part way to the set sound---Compared to a 6550 pp amp.)
Amp for my speakers, PLEASE HELP
Hi,
I am lost. And I need your help. I just bought a nice pair of Ellis 1801b speakers and I don't know what amplifier shoul I look for.
Specs: Sensitivity 84db
Impedance: 8 ohms nominal ;dips to a low of 6.2ohms in the bass region.
Sound Pressure: 90db
My music: classical 2/3; anything else (from rock to jazz, world and folk) 1/3. Only Lp's.
My room: 18 x 20 feet (5.4m x 6.1m)
My requirements:
- to have 300b tubes
- to work best with KR tubes
- to be in my budget: $1000 (max $1075)
- can be used or vintage
I just need an amplifier, I already have a pre-amp that I will replace it later.
If the 300b's won't work with my speakers (due to my limited budget), please advise for what else should I look for.
Thanks a LOT
