RE: The Korneff 45 was an audio-life changing event for me.

Downtown traffic is just killer.
You do not want to be headed out in the morning
Or in in the afternoon.
Or in the area any time between.

Brickell, though, is a beautiful area. I used to live in the Roads which is immediately west of there, on the other aide of I95.

Beach traffic can be as bad sometimes, but not near that constant level.
Been working remote for a year now, I do miss top down driving on the beach but not enough to do it without incentive.
Luckily we have pretty much everything we need in walking distance.

I do not have any 45's to compare to. This was my first SET amp.
I did spend a fair amount of time before making the jump trying to figure our out how these things work and what might make them specials.

So I read up and watched videos on how tubes, amps and power supplies worked.
Enough so at least I had some basic grasp because I was really curious of this min/max approach.

Originally I fully expected to get a 300b or such, seems everyone gets that and there are quite a few models in series manufacture.
But as I dove deeper and read others' experience there was trend that pointed to the 45 as being the deep end of the pool, if you could live with the power.

All signs pointed to the Korneff as the one but they show up once every 2-3 years and sell in 1-2 days.
I put a watch on HiFi shark, and what do you know, the very next day one popped up.
Synchrony, dooood.


I just added an Omega sub to the setup and will probably add a second.
