Best amp for KEF LS50
LS50 is a not an easy speaker to drive as it spends much of its low mid range and bass frequencies between 6ohm and 4 ohm.  Solid state amps that fail to provide adequate current into those lower impedance range would result in higher frequencies ... 
EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
Thanks for everyone's continuous suggestions.  I ended up doing two things in the past two days.  I got a EL34B PP with triode / ultralinear mode capability on sale from Amazon just so I can try things out on the cheap as experiment.  My dad who g... 
EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
thanks trelja and salectric@trelja, I've also actually been eyeing Consonance Cyber880A with 2A3x8 in pp.  But doesn't going to pp design automatically cancel out the crystal clear clarify signature of SET?  I have no experience with triode tube i...

EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
Thanks my current budget is $2500 but willing to save up more and get something that makes sense down the road vs keep buying and selling.  I'm just a regular white collar Joe so naturally I'm trying to spend as little as possible.  If I'm to aban... 
EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
Thank you all for your thoughts so far.  I love the clarity and transparency of 300B SET, guess this is the famous addiction.  I'm holding off on moving to a used large Class A SS like Mark Levinson for now.  Couple clarification I have for anyone...

hi mboldda1, i'm located around Seattle area.trelja, how would you describe EL34 vs 300B?  I listened to a Primaluna Dialouge Premium HP at local dealer through a pair of Living Voices Auditorium.  Honestly while it was very good I wasn't complete... 
EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
Thanks glenn for info.  Yeah, I've been pleasantly surprised with 300B SET, seems that many people have the false assumption that 300B SET is automatically bad for anything non-flat 8ohm and less than 92db sensitivity.  I started with NuPrime ID8,...

Excellent explanation Al, thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions so far. 
tubes and current
I use a Dared VP-300B.  Not sure we're getting to my original answer.  Hope to clarify here my original question is 'does adding more tubes increase high current of amp (not just watts) or is high current mainly determined by amp design and transf... 
tubes and current
thanks for feedback so far.  @phreder, how does 300B push pull compare to El34 push pull?  Once it loses the 'SET' magic, how do the two compare given the huge price difference in tubes?  thx
