I had the 300SE mono blocks in 1994. Nice, but I'd keep the Inspire gear and not be seduced by the golden girl.

When more tubes means more heat...
Quote:
Speaking of space heaters, I hear ya. I run this upgraded V12R more so in the cooler months of the year. This version has the larger transformers too for added heat along side 12 EL34 output tubes and 4 other input tubes. A local 50-year tech buddy added the new Mundorf EVO Silver-Gold caps for me and Hexfreds. It truly holds its own now on sound, particularly in Triode mode, sounds lovely actually. Bought the DH Inspire Hot Rod for warmer months was my original excuse to myself, hahah . Reminds me again one of the reasons why I originally bought and rotate the little Inspire stereo amp in. The next attempt was to see if the Inspire Monos could displace the V12R permanently. When I spoke with Dennis a while back, he reminded me he still has a V12R but wonder if it ever gets used now with all this new cool Inspire stuff around.

The Hot Rod won't ever replace 50 triode watts with your speakers. My speakers are, nominally, 98-99db. I brought my triode strapped Inspire gear to a friend's house and drove 104 db Volti Audio modified La Scalas a couple of years ago. Pope 6v6's in it and it was sublime. WAY better than my Heresy III's. It's simple physics and you can't get around that. The 24 watt, with KT88's, might be the ticket but you need to discus this with Dennis. You may just need 50 watts to get the sound you want.

The 300SEI has 11-15 watts Is not there a gain? |

Yes, there would be a power gain with the 300SEI. Can you hold off on the deal until your speakers arrive? Then you could compare them and trust your ears.

Here on AA I saw experiments with FMOD for a subwoofer, but unfortunately did not find the results. How did it end? |

The fmods did not do anything positive to my system with monitor speakers and subs. Others here have had the opposite experience. |
