45 Amplifier

Sold

If I may, what speakers u paired with ?

I tried my original Blueroom Minipods, Gre-pin, Loth-x + Vienna Acoustics. Will wait to get my pair of Tannoy Mercury S back from my friend to try. Are you running a 45 as well?

Nope, only tried 2A3+LothX years ago & now 300B with B&W DM4.

Heard b4 2a3 driving lotx aura , lotx ion4. Don't think the speaker efficient enough for 2a3. 2a3 driving a pair of klipsch k horn, yes. It can give u the bass n scale. As for 45, don't think your speaker is sensitive enough even the pair of gre-pin.

Beg to differ from my test. The Gre-pins can reproduce the pipe organ from the 45 tubes superbly. I haven't tried that piece of music on the Loth-X but the drum piece I played on it sounds promising. I think the Loth-X's sensitivity is at 98db/w whilst is at 104db/w. If you have not tried the Gre-pins, bring your amp over to Yap/Octave and plug it into his Gre-pin. It will amaze you.

The 45s are very good as a toy for casual listening whilst my preference still goes to the 300B as it produces the "fuller + richer" type of sound I like.

Best wishes.

Brubusm, oredy tried the Gre-pin in yap place b4 u got ur pair. Just replace the kr 2a3 with EML45 tube into my 2a3 transformer couple preamp. 45 got better highs n quieter. If u don't need the power, 45 is the way to go.

Cheers,
