Not my current speakers, no. I'm looking at higher eff models, not HIGH EFFICIENCY by the standard measures mind you, just 90 - 95 or so.
I actually have a SE 300B integrated that hopefully will soon be repaired and useable again, but no remote which is now important to me. The amps I'm looking at use the EL-84 (13 watts) or the EL-34 (51 watts) They are by Linear Tube Audio, and are both PP integrateds. I'd probably have to go with the '34 model if I keep my current speakers (which may be the way it goes since I can't hear the speakers I really want). They sound fine to me using the 55 watt 6550 amp I have. I've even used the 300B with them and they still sounded pretty good at the volumes I listen to, but I'm in a different space now so that probably wouldn't work.
I guess I really would like to know what I'd get if I switched to the amps with the other tubes over my amp with the 6550's.
