Congrats, that's very nice, and I think it's an excellent topology. Just to be clear regarding my earlier comments, a large SET can provide a superb full-range experience if it's matched to the right speakers. My speakers are only about 95dB, but they're flat to nearly 20Hz. My main amplifier for many years was a 4W/ch SEP, and that combination performed remarkably well. In comparison, the 211 amps allow higher listening levels (although rarely needed) and a certain sonic magic only large SETs can create. I'll probably build something Class A PP in the future, but for now I've got all the hi-fi I can use. :)
