I love the sound of the 300B tubes. A typical limitation is their lack of power... However, each amp runs 130 watts class A. The highs are smooth and the bass is great. I am using the Classe on my subs but the vacs do have great bass.
I only had laf a set of tubes (you can run 4 300B tubes in each amp running 75 watts a channel). I wanted to match a set and VAC gave me a killer deal for their factory matched ones (Shuguangs). I like the sound better because they seem to be a little more refined and detailed.
Come to Athens and take some pics. I spend all my cash on stereo, no funds for a good camera!
Also some changes:
Sold all the Levinson because their customer service is horrid.
New pre: VAC Signature MK II
