The Dared combo opened an intimate window on the recordings, following the music's emotional ebb and flow while avoiding hyperrealistic sound. The Dareds provided an intimate portrait of the music, as if I listened in on the recording sessions without anyone knowing. If you're looking for a system for an office, apartment, dorm room, or bedroom, this combo may be it.

The sound is everything one expects from a 300B tube. The mid-range is spot on for human voices and single instruments like piano or sax. The highs are very extended and sweet. The acoustic bass instruments are accurate with clear vibrato from the cello and double bass.

For such a fair price, one can get into the 300B SET scene, and what a scene it is. This amp is a keeper, even if you are considering a much more expensive mode of 300B SET, you should consider this one. With what you save, you could get extra 300B tubes, more music, speakers that are better SET suited and the list go's on.
