SETs vs. Push/Pull

Say, people! I've been a tube guy for about 22 years and an SET guy for 7. Am seriously thinking of selling my Air Tight 300B and getting a P/P with more power. Anyone done this and if so, how are things going? Any suggestions for replacement amps that can compete musically with SETs?

I tend to agree with Edle. I think you need to keep the amp / passive preamp (etc) and consider different speakers.

Tom,
Several years ago I owned a Conrad Johnson 11-A tube amp and the Cary 2A3 monoblocks (5/watt per ch.), which I used with a variety of friendly set speakers. I would listen to one amp for a few weeks to a month and then switch to the other etc. In the long run, although both are good amps, I decided I liked the sound of the set (Cary 2A3) better and I still use them today. I'm not sure which P/P amp would work best for your ProAc 2.5 Response Speakers since it is evident that you want to keep them, but good luck in your quest and be sure to post your findings.
