Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b


Has anyone been able to listen to both the Coincident Frankensteins and the Audio Note Kits 300 b amps? I am getting ready to buy my first 300b system and would love to hear what folks think.
Hope to be buying in 2 weeks, so anxious to learn as much as possible before then.

I'll ask Brian about that.
Since I run the Dali's with 16 watts from the 845, I assumed that the 20 watts should be sufficient.

I am not sure how the impedance factors into the equation.
Matt,
If you're happy with the 16 watt 845 SET driving your Dalis then there's a good chance the 20 watt PSET 300b may also be fine. Again I'd suggest getting the best output transformers you can afford(and 4 ohm taps). Matt, as much as I enjoy the Frankenstein, It wouldn't be the best choice with your speakers.
Best of Luck,
Charles,
Mattzack2,

I looked up the specs for your speakers. They are rated at 89.5 dB sensitivity and 4 ohms nominal impedance. I tried my Frankensteins with a pair of speakers that I owned that are rated at 89 dB and 8 ohms (never going below 6.5 ohms). The Franks did not work their best with that particular combination. The sound was congested and not very dynamic compared to other amps that I used with those speakers.
Thanks for chiming in. Audiogon has been a goldmine of expert advice for me. I appreciate all the help. - Matt
Brian sais the Audio Note will do 4, 8 and 16 ohm by request. I'm going with both 4 and 8 ohm terminals.
Really looking forward to this.
