Charlie,
You might like these..Lamhorns..I almost bought a pair...very very good and great bass, and very simple no subwoofers with plate amps inside, especially for the music you like.
You probably can't get a discount like the rethyms, but maybe a used pair?
I heard them with 300b's and they sounded great and made here in the US!
Mike my quest for the SET amp is for the Rethm Saadhana speaker. Two reasons first Rollo Audio will be the dealer for the east coast. Second my first love is SET/High Sensitivity speaker. Love planars as well but not as much, so the change.
Trying to kill two birds with one stone. I own a 211 based SET, heard 300B,50,101,45,2A3 SET amps. Just not sure which tube I prefer. The Saadhana is 102Db, 18HZ to 20KHZ. Needs only 1.5W to boot.
We will be doing the NY and CAF with Linear Tube Audio and Rethm. However my quest again is two fold the ultimate choice in synergy for my personal listening and then for sales. I refuse to settle on any audio component just because I sell them or get trade discounts. I try to have components on hand that I actually use and can easily recommend.
The top choices so far are Border Patrol,Rethm, Lamm, Berning, Yamamoto, Melody, Decware. Lots to choose from and that is my issue right now. The search continues. Thanks for the input.
