interstage transformers vs. coupling capacitors

Got a question for all you dht/set types. Looking to purchase a 300b kit from either sun audio or audio note. The fundamental difference between these amps is the sun uses an interstage xformer while the audio note uses a coupling capacitor. The sun is also 2000 bucks more expensive. Does anyone care to compare/contrast these amp designs. My speakers are living voice avatar obx @94db and 6 ohms. Both amps are parallel single ended as I'm afraid one 300b at 9 watts would not be enough. I listen to many double bass concertos (Edgar Meyer). Also, to any of you 2a3 users out there, do you get enough badwidth on the lowther and similar type drivers to be satisfied with my music tastes listed above? One other thing, anyone care to compare a DRD (direct reactance drive), with the above configurations?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

What Audio Note amp are you talking about ?

I have the Audio Note Quest mono 9watts ($4000) with Silverline La Folia 92db 8 ohm for my second system. Believe me or not,they are perfect match and much better than my previous Cary CAD300 Sigature which cost $1000 more expensive than the Quest.

I'm using WE300B instead of the original tubes.

Price has nothing to do with MUSIC.

I'm sure you can use single 300B for your speaker.
