Hi all, I am looking for a 300B SET amp to run my Tannoy Golds and Klipsch speakers.

Happy to travel long distances for collection.

Please PM if you have anything that might be of interest. I have access to a very good engineer for repair and upgrades so no barriers there.

All the best, Martin

Not knowing your price limits these are very good, http://www.lotushifi.co.uk/preloved/ Renaissance RA-01 300b Mono Amps, I suspect Richard would be open to a sensible offer.

Definative audio had a trafomatic listed at a sensible price. Give Kevin or Lyn a call, see if it’s still available.

There is a Dutch guy that trades under the name of Heart, he makes a 300B SET amp called Beat (I know - Heart Beat :)),
I have heard these and they are rather wonderful.

Very little info but worth a search (come on all you rabid AoS searchers).

As suggested by Jake, The Trafomatic at Definitive is a knockout 300B for the money!

Seconded. I used to own one of these amps, they are superb.

Oops, apologies, this was mine and sold a while ago. should have updated the ad.
yes it was an incredible amp. built by David Coe of this parish.

I must add the 300b wasn't great with my Tannoy 12' Monitor Golds, too soft in the lower regions, no real control. It was incredible in the mids and treble.

As well documented on various threads on AoS, tread carefully with matching the Tannoy MG's to the amplification, it's why I ended up with a Radford STA25.
If the 300b had worked with the Tannoys I'd still be with it, as that 300b airy magic is addictive.
But it was push pull with zero negative feedback, subsequently, a low damping factor (all that stuff is a little past my station tbh!)

I have a Bez T3B-3 for sale. Not well known, but a nice little amp. Asking just £300 including some spare valves.

I have a Border Patrol 300b amp a bit too noisy on my 104db horns but was fine on 95db speakers . Was going to get a gain stage removed to resolve this but may consider selling

Would my Air Tight 300B be of interest?

I'm using a trafo 300B, it's a weighty sounding number. Beautifully built and very quiet.
