  GEO, I can't seem to find a link to Pete Millett's SET KT88. Do you have a link?

      I use 12 watt per channel amp on my 87dB sensitive speakers. 300B or larger tube amp should be good. Most 300B amps make 12 watts or higher.

        BTW- forget pentode or heptode tubes wired as a triode.

          Other than a 6CB5A, all my amps have pretty much been DHT. These are all of the amps I have owned. There are some missing...PP KT88 and 6336A Mono Blocks

  KT88 is Not a Single Ended Triode (Which is usually referred to as a SET) - It is a Tetrode.

    I know it isn't. I have had 300B, 2A3, 845, 801A, 45, 183 and a VT52.

      I can never understand how to run a KT88 (or any beam power tube or pentode) without feedback to keep the HD low. I know people do but when I tried it (PP KT88 triode connected in deep Class A) is sounded bad.
