Hello Steve.
 SM> Built by Solo Electronics out of California for Golden
 SM> Tube Audio.  They make mid-priced equipment, including
 SM> a pre-amp, 50 watt integrated, 8 watt 300B (this tube
 SM> is quite the rage, and VERY expensive) and 100watt amps.
BTW, what is a price of 300B in USA?
Can You explain in more details about your amp?
What is current and voltage of output tubes?
Which size of output transformer, and especially size of the steel?
 SM> I'm considering either buying a second amp, and bi-amping
 SM> or monoblocking the two, or getting a factory upgraded
 SM> transformer.  A used amp is only slightly more than the
 SM> factory upgrade, but I can't decide!
What crossover do you plan to use?
 SM> If you can get to the internet, rec.audio.tubes is a place
 SM> to start of other people who like tubes.  And I'm sure there
 SM> are alot of web sites too.
It's a pity I don't have access to Internet.
In Russia we have two audio related echos SU.HARDW.AUDIO and MO.HI-FI.
