I bought a Bakoon 12R as a back-up for my AncientAudio SET 300b. It sounds great with my ZuDef4s - albeit different from any tube SET that I have heard. Not sure how it would sound with your Devore O/96. Have you considered a different tube amplifier? One with less heat output? I live in Washington, DC, which is often very hot and humid in the summer; and I have not had a heat problem.
Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96
My Shindo amp/preamp combo sounds fantastic with these speakers, but during the sticky summer months here in N.C., my listening room gets uncomfortably warm, even with the central AC on. I've considered something like a First Watt JC2, but my understanding is these also put out lots of heat due to Class A operation. Any suggestions for a cool-running solid state amp that would sound good with the Devores?
