What are some of the Top 45 Tube SET Amplifiers Have you Heard? "Ultimate Purity" Achieved?

[caesar]

Ahhh.. the purity of the 45 tube. What are some of the amps that you heard with the 45 tube? And which speakers were used?

Ultimate purity achieved?

Thanks in advance

Thomas Mayer 46. Better than 45. But hardly any speaker will work with them, only something that is single driver like AER, or if multiway will need biamping. Apparently the pp 46 can do up to 10w but never heard.

I have owned monoblocks and Vista speakers for few years. Enjoyed them a lot. I sold everything some time ago, monoblocks to a dealer in UK and speakers to a private individual here in Poland.

Not SET, However if purity, Transparency, lack of any coloration is your goal

The Atma-Sphere are among the best Tube Amps on the planet, Whilst i am a FAN of SET Amplifiers the OTL to me is a superior step up above everything iv owned or heard at show or friends regards SET Systems. Others may not share the same opinion and thats fine, but i prefer an amplifier you can throw any forms of genre.

Whilst OTL will give you allot more, careful system matching and speakers are absolute crucial as OTLs are very Fussy! get this wrong and you prob wont like it as much. Get it done right and it will be magical.

I have powered my Beauhorn Virtuoso speakers with a pair of Jeff Korneff 45 mono amps with great effect. Very musical.

I use a pair of Triode Labs 45M SETs, which sound divine on my Klipsch La Scalas. 1 45 tube, 1 w74B rectifier and 1 12AX7. Very good build quality. Runs very cool, and I suspect generates less heat than some of Nelson Pass’ First Watt designs and the Luxman class A integrated.
