Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

No, that's not correct

The 300B can use a much simpler (i.e. cheaper) transformer for a good load line. Finding good transformers for 845 and 211 has never been easy, and none that I'm aware of are suitable for the power capabilities of these tubes in the first octave. A single-ended series feed transformer for 20W at 20Hz would be the size of a cinder block. I use Magnequest FS-100 OPTs, which are very large, but even these are limited to about 7W - 8W at 20Hz without NFB. This limitation aside, my 211 amps are extremely nuanced and transparent, and I wouldn't hesitate to put them up against any 300B.
