RE:Pros and cons of your 211 amp?

Thanks for sharing TK. Very good points to consider. I am using some fairly efficient speakers, Klipsch Forte 2, and Altec 19. While I am impressed by good bass i don't listen to much popular music but a flat response to 30 hz would be nice. Anyway, I have not bought a Chi-fi amp or owned one, but it has been almost 20 years since they have been in the hifi market and I wondered if by now they have gotten their act together? My plan is to get something of a donor amp and put better transformers and upgrade other parts. It would save time and effort on doing a complete from scratch build. Speaking of class A PP, I just acquired an AES AE 25 amp which is PP class A 6550 tubes. It sounds great but I noticed I had some ear fatigue after about an hour. My SE amps don't seem to do that at the same listening levels.
