Coincident Dragon Amplifier

I'm starting to think about a power amp upgrade I'll probably want to do within a few months, and I'd appreciate experienced-based comments on the Coincident Dragon monoblocks.

I would be using them with my Daedalus Ulysses speakers. Even though the Ulysses are 97db/1W/1m efficient, I want amplifier power that approaches the Dragon's 75W rating because I listen to a lot of classical symphonic music having wide dynamic range. The Dragon, with its push-pull 211's, therefore strikes me as an amp that would hopefully provide a nice balance between directly-heated triode sonics and relatively high power.

Its $9K price tag, btw, is at the extreme upper limit of what I would want to spend.

Thanks in advance,

Don't have any experience with the Coincident Dragon. That said have a 211 amp, pure class A and 36 watts, monoblocks and about 110 pounds each.
Yes, that is about half of what your looking for in power. They are Wyetech;s and I bought mine for slightly less than your upper limit used. They come up from time to time. The output tubes have their own transformer as do the input tubes. I am a definite fan, from first hearing onward. So take that into consideration.
BTW I have really enjoyed your comments over time and have very much appreciated your responses.
