Belyin,Although not directly comparable, I currently use the Fi X 300 with the TJ300B Meshplates (standard) to great effect. No, make that really great effect. Don's amp's are, to these ears, the most consistenly underrated SETs around here; sure, they get great reviews, but noone seems to push them much, or try them out in extreme combinations. This is what Brian is nudging me to mention below.
The sounds I've been able to get are so enjoyable, they've surprised me, my colleagues, and a manufacturer or two (using brand new/experimental drivers in my Hedlund horns)... Never has the amp been left wanting.
But appraised though: my 300B is capacitor-coupled, I think, and so the Fi X (2A3) would probably sound even more angelic. If I was to do it again, and maybe I will, I'd plump for Don's stereo 2A3 Silver version, TJ2.5s and NOS tube drivers, and try them with state-of-the-art full-range drivers and perhaps some low-inductance silver wire here or there. Yum, yum.
