Thanks Shaun I have predominantly used valve amps but haven’t for about two years, looked at SET amps but know I would need to look at different speakers but a straight forward valve that can be used with “normal” speakers. These amps kept on coming up in my current searches for options

Yeah Colin I've had my time with an Audion 300B SET integrated and also an Audion Sterling ETSE EL34 integrated as well. Seriously good sound especially the 300B but as you have said requires careful speaker matching. I used mine with Audio Note AZ-2's. If I had to make one final choice for the rest of my life it would be 300B SE every time. For me and me only, it is what valves are all about.

I agree, I had Audion EL34 loved it, Glasshouse 300b wished I had never sold it amazing amp, but I do think there is something special about the 300b. Oto was good liked that but I want valves that can just work with speaker changes without either making them or paying a small fortune for sensitive speakers .

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
