Stereo 5 Skifi is a nasty overpriced business with a nasty attitude nobody should buy anything from them.Good luck!!
Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps?
There are two interesting 80K$ tube amps on sale at Audiogon.
https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9jhj0-david-berning-co-211-845-otl-tube
The first one is David Berning OTL design with output of 60 Watts.
it looks beautiful. But I had never used OTL amp yet.
I am curious how it sounds with high efficiency speaker.

The second one is Jadis JA800 with 6 pieces and 400watts.
I had used JA500 (only 4 pieces with 350 Watts) from 2000 to 2002 to drive B&W Notilus 801 with utmost authority and unbelievable slam.
It was kind of lifetime experience to own this beautiful and overbearing monster.
But I could not use it during summer time in modest size room.
Thus I let it go and got Silbatone 300B SET amp to drive efficient full range speaker.
350 Watt to 8 Watt
If you have money or hit the Jackpot, which one will you go for?
