Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Sure you don't want to go the 2a3 route?

300B is.... well......

With Lowther Horns, you have plenty of sensitivity to work with.
I really think the 2a3 is a more sonically refined tube.

I build ALL (except for sources)of my own gear, and can make
whatever I want. I just see zero to gain by 300B except more expense
and only 2-3 (in the real world) more output. The 300B really does
not like to make more than about 6 (clean) watts --inspite of all the
BS claims about 10-Watt output 300B SETs out there. with 2a3 you
can afford to play with various tube brands if desired.
I would think (have not heard them) the Fi-2a3 and Sun Audio sv-2a3
would be almost sure-fire bets, and be likely to hold their value/
desirability very well through time as well.

Anyhow, just something to consider.

Good luck.
