Push pull 300B amplifiers


Any opinions on this topology compared with SET 300Bs or push pull KT88/EL34s (my only point of reference)? Any reason push pull 300B amps not more common?

Am considering the Canary 301 Mk2 or ASL AQ1010DT for 90 db easy load speakers (Equation 25). Good idea?

Any thoughts appreciated.

I've had no experience with Canary amps but a friend whose ears I trust has - he says they are very well made and quite musical. Also have had no experience with P/P 300B amps since I'm quite happy with my 300B SET at this point. However, at $200.00 - $850.00 a pair for output tubes (and you'll need two pairs) retubing gets quite expensive. I also don't know how long the power tubes will last being run this way, maybe longer.

By the way, Bobheinatz, what 70 watt amp are you using?
