RE: Help me pick SET monoblocks

Triode - I'm not looking for 95db average volume. My base listening level for classical is 75db to 80db average. Giving 20 db for louder passages gets me to 95db and 3db for overhead.

My hearing is good for my age. I'm not interested in spending hours at a time at 95 db minimums.

My other system is a 225wpc 4 ohm PSAudio HCA with Dynaudios and a sub and it can play way too loud. Part of the design of the new system is to have a lower power rig to relearn about and compare. My last tube amp was a Fisher 101 that I traded in about 35 years ago on a 100wpc Mitsubishi PA and DA 10 combination.

I thought about a First Watt and then decided I would rather get back into electronics as a hobby.
