[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 5474123, member: 555251"] I had a Decware amp that ended up being somewhere around $300/watt. Was a 2 watt EL84 design, single ended. The amps I use now are 8 watts per side (my avatar is one of the output triodes). As mentioned before, if you have high efficiency speakers, there's really nothing like it. It's amazing how little really goes into these kind of amps - no circuit boards, all hand-wired. 100% Class A, all the time. You think your Class A/B is inefficient? How about efficiencies around 20% [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] There are amps out there that are 1.5 watts per channel, and people swear by them for Tractrix midrange horns and other stuff in the 110dB/W range. I know more tube amp manufacturers based in the US than 12V ones could hope for [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Decware, Bottlehead, Quicksilver, Deja Vu, Cary...all built right here.
