Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Not with B&W Speakers!

There is simply no way your amp will work with B&W Nautilus (or Matrix, or any other B&W) speakers. The sensitivity is not enough, and worse, the impedence curve is very demanding. The Nautilus series particularly so, they need an absolute minimum 50 wpc and will only sound their best with a good 100 to 150 wpc. Still, people insist on doing it, because the Nautilus are stylish speakers.

You will get sound, and you will get volume. You will also get weak bass, suckouts along the frequency response curve, and bright highs. Get a high wattage SS amp or get tube friendly speakers.
