Not yet...- But I have heard A7 with 300B, and it was right up my alley. I intend to get a set of VOTT, specifically to use with a 300B SET.
Yes, I've had good luck integrating the Sentry's into my living room. I've used them with 2A3, 300B, and EL34 amps. EV PI15-3 and Aristocrats have served me well, too, and so have Heresy I and circa 1995 Definitive Tech lower end of that brand floor standers.
I recently tried some Klipsch RP-160M 2-way bookshelf speakers and found the 2-way an interesting change of pace - but they're so small and I've become completely addicted to the way big speakers fill the air with music such as others cannot do (to my ears and tastes - if you think differently that's great, too).
I'm looking forward to getting some VOTT to round out my SET/horn collection as well as round out listening choices at my place.
As this thread illustrates, folks' personal preferences run the spectrum of differences - thankfully there are great manufacturers, makers, craftsmen and artists who make wonderful stuff to fit all of our preferences! For me, it's SET and horns. Period. I'll take the MAGIC midrange and solid 45 hz every time over deeper bass minus that magic. At this point, I don't desire to bi-amp in order to have lower bass, but understand that some prefer that and have great results doing so...-
