These are extremely well made and sound tremendously well. Good Listening Peter

As I mentioned the Canary products are extremely well built I have had several of them through here over the past 10+ years. They are very quiet and if biased properly the 300B tubes will last many many years. With 16 ea 300B the cost of a new set of tubes can be substantial depending on how crazy you go with the tubes, I run them with EH 300B which will set you back about $1800 for a complete set. If you want to discuss these further give me a call and I'd be happy to answer all questions you might have. Good Listening Peter
