I figured the Quest would be the natural match. I've been watching for a couple of months now without seeing a pair that meets the budget. The manufactured amps that seem to meet the sound quality and price point are mostly EL34 PP amps.

Have you considered Bottlehead?

  At this point I'm open to anything. I want to find the best fit for the speakers and the room. I see the most availability in 300B, but it is not a requirement. The Decware 34 and the Quicksilver horn monos get a lot of love. I don't want to get a pure triode that isn't arguably better than either of these.

    I'm using a Bottlehead Paramount with 2A3s (about 3.5 W output) and they work GREAT with the kit version of the AN/E HE. The volume control at 65 will run my wife out of the room. So you should be good with 300Bs. AN speakers work great with SETs.
