ESP & BAT or N802 & W4S

Very nice setup and system. The ESPs always have given me goosebumps. I bet the BAT is a nice match. Time to add fresh pics including the amp perhaps? Cheers,Spencer

Frank,If the 300Bs still lack a bit of the drive you seek check out amps with either the GM70, 845 or 211 tubes. These are all higher power handling and often end up in amps with ~25-50w/ch., w...
