Art Audio Carissa Signature 845 or 300 b amp?

I just tuned up my Jadis with the help of Trelja and Mechans. It sound great. In fact I prefer it over my 845 amp which I fell in love with.

A short time ago,I visited a friend to listen to his 300b system. It sounded extremely good.

My question is for anyone who has experience with the sound of the Art Audio or any other top shelf 845 amp and a good value, used 300b amp in the $4000 range?

My question is vague, but it will help mein making up my mind on what to do with my systems next.

Mattzack2: I run a Jadis Defy 7 and also a Jota HC which is based on the 300BXLS tubes. The Jota puts out about 23 watts. It is a single ended design with a lot of the 300b SE magic. I think you should be able to score one for around $4,000. And it should drive your speakers I should think. The Defy 7 is 100 watts and I don't see a big difference in power performance when I switch back and forth.
