Is there such a thing...


as an KT88/6550 based tube that sounds similar to the midrange of an 845 tube? I was listening to a friends setup that uses the Unison Smart 845 amp and was blown away by the midrange. Is there any way I can come close to this sound without buying a 845 based amp and high efficiency speakers? More specifically, what 6550 based tubes, interconnects, etc.

Take a look at my updated system and tell me what you think.
Thanks

Agree, there may some things the 845 SET amp does, but at a compromise on other things. Such as how are the bass/highs compared to my KT90 amp? Besides will the 845 amp deliver the same soundstage on my Thor speakers as my KT90/push pull? In all things audio, there is compromise. From what i know the KT88 would be close to the 845 in the mids. But then expect more roll off in the highs/bass vs the KT90 tube. I've heard the KT88 in 3 auditions and didn't care for it.
