RE: Help me pick SET monoblocks

I like the idea of a single 12 watt tube. I think the times when 25 watts are needed will be rare.

The cheap chip amp has a nice first half watt. After that it goes away fast. Something like a Patek gainclone would be better.

I agree the 6 ohm speaker is odd. As far as I can tell AudioNote does not make an amp with a 6 ohm tap. I found one amp with a 5 ohm output. I was thinking that some of the smaller companies might do a custom transformer for me.

I've seen a couple of models with supertransformers using triode strapped EL34s that are interesting. The top AudioNote EL34 kit is rated a level 3 in their system. This may be a demonstration of the transformer being more important than the tube.
