I'll probably have to end up re-selling it and stepping back up to 60wpc mono blocks. Or, find some older DH amps and send them to him to modify them, if I can find some with more power. This is for a 2nd set of speakers I'm working on developing that will top out at 92db max at 1w/1m. I already own a Cary V12R with 50/100wpc tube amp, it sounds amazing with upgrades so I'm familiar with what my speakers can do and just know I need more power to make my speakers perform at their best. Separate discussion.
Question:
Since Dennis departed from Cary Audio (say in the past 5 or so years), do any of you know if Dennis ever made any higher power mono block tube amps above 25wpc? If so, what is the name/model of the amps?

I think you answer is a pair of custom MBQs ramped up to KT 77, 88, or 150. Those should push around 50 watts per ch pure SE magic. No push pull from DH that I am aware since he left Cary. Allan, Analog Addict, has been known to suggest waving Benjamins at Dennis will get things moving.
