300B or EL34 is a better well rounded amplifier

If you have a lot of money the 300b without a doubt.
If you don't ,stay away or you will soon have no money and a divorce.

No witticism intended.

Jeez, this thread makes me wish I didn't just buy a VAC PA 35/35 EL34 tube amp. ;^)

Maybe one day a 300B SET amp will be in my room, but I'm probably going to need the prices to come down on them and/or maybe some different speakers too......we'll see.

Cheers,

Not to worry JMC, a EL-34 makes everything sound better.
A VW Pasatt might not be a Benz E-350 but you still can ride from Chicago to LA in one with style and comfort.

Schubert,
good point, I still have an el34 PP amp and It does sound good. It`s just with direct comparison that the differences become apparent in favor of the 300b SET. I can still enjoy music with the eL34 amplifier.

A VW Passat to a Benz E-350?? C'mon, really??? Not even like comparing a Beemer to a Benz? That's even more disappointing..... :(

I might as well just get an Onkyo receiver, see to me, that would be like comparing a Passat to an E-Class Benz.
