Sure, the $61k per pair is very steep but in high end audio anything goes. The $3-5k price you suggested would not even be possible in China since there are over $12k of 300B alone in the monoblock pair...  |
Serge you and several others here convinced me to upgrade from 250 watts per channel to 500 watts per channel ! What happened to needing more headroom, more space between instruments, more effortless bass with improved imaging? You see I remember our conversations from 2009
not to change the thread getting back to tubes , I hope they are good.
