    Anybody know amplifiers that has more KT150 than this one? This thing needs 9 pairs (18 singles!) of KT150, and 1 6550

    Probably wins for kt150 tubes, but not total tubes. This Silver Seven 700 by Bob Carver uses 20 x 6550 tubes. Per monobloc.

    I am still baffled why ATMA uses such low powered tube for their flagship amp. Those 42 6AS7s can be reduced to tens of KT150s.

    The reason why I am asking for KT150 is because KT150 tubes is pretty powerful by itself, so it normally doesn't need much for a monos.

    Well 6AS7s is actually pretty cheap, unless you are looking for 5998.

    I'd send it straight back.

    I can just about manage without the comma, but the missing hyphen? No excuse, No Way!
