About 20 years ago, a good friend built me a pair of 845 SET monoblocks. I was using Conrad Johnson Premier 12s at the time (140 wpc) and couldn't believe how much better the 845 amps sounded, in every way. They use 3 tubes, the 845s, EL34 drivers and 6n7/ECC31 input tubes. Humongous trannies he had built by Magnequest.
After hearing mine, a friend had another pair built for him. These have now been modded to use 211 tubes and the owner is very happy.
My speakers are Gallo Nucleus Ultimates, circa 1996, not especially sensitive, yet the amps have no trouble filling my 18x40' room, unbelievable as it might seem.
As I said these amps are approx. 20 years old. They're not going anywhere. _
