ok... I am moving soon and the new living arrangements will not support my dipole speakers. I found an outstanding deal on a used pair of Endeavor Audio E-3's. My current 45 SET & 2A3 SET amps will not drive the 90db 4ohm load presented by the E-3's. About 2 years ago ,I meet Jack from Electra Fidelity @ his Vegas home. Jack introduced me to his 211 mono blocks and was blown away by the 211's iron fisted grace. I remember sitting there in awe and quickly realizing Big Tubes are the Real Deal.. I obtained a Teddy Pardo chip amp (which is awesome!) and waited for a used 211/845 to magically appear
Thank you MCA. You are my hero
The 845 feels more like the 2a3 than 45 to me. The 845's do not lose their composure with E-3's as the volume knob is turned up. 845 is more visceral / engaging compared to 45 / 2A3. The tones / textures feel more pronounced with 845. 845 is not as transparent / holographic compared to the 45 but a small price to surrender given soo many other ++++'s. The 845 tube is a beast , dares you to play it louder and, if given the chance, will burn your house down ! #BIGTUBELOVE
