-to run a 45 based SET amplifier! I'm sure you know that.
SETs only have about 20-25% usable power. If you push them too hard they get flabby in the bass... They really shouldn't be exposed to bass since the inductance in the output transformer is usually too low due to the cut core. That causes the load impedance to go down quite a lot; bad load for a power tube.
A properly fixed up Dynaco ST35 (their best sounding amp) would be a much better choice for the Tannoys.
