Re: Need help choosing a new 45 SET.

Hi,

This answer a somewhat hidden note further down:

I thought it worthwhile promoting the answer up a few levels on the tree....

Just as a note, YOU MAY find that you get more milage from buying a DIFFERENT Output Valve equipped Amplifier. I do like the 45 a lot, I also like the 300B loads but a 10/10Y/205 is another thing still and CAN be gotten to give about as much power as a 45.

So why not try a 10Y amp as complement to the 45's if you can live with low power or add a 300B (even one of the 300B+ aka. Super-300B) Amplifier for Mahler and Mussorsky?

Variety is the spice of life!
