10 years ago I had a Jota. Near enough the same thing, a 300B SET. I never had speakers sensitive enough to get decent bass. I'd suggest a trip to Nottingham or Northampton, I forget where they are, and play something with bass. Hindemith's sonata for piano and bass tuba. Or baritone sax. Why not a pair of LV speakers?
I may make the trip. Had La Scalas [high wife acceptance factor] long time ago driven by a Moth 2A3. Glorious sound.
Been through a ton of 45, px25 and 300b. Went through the high powered sets and I’m frankly not satisfied. I like the feeling of being able to walk into the music.
I am looking for detail and proper voicing for my 75 year old ears. I do love your amp. Tell me, is it as detailed as I suspect?

It's not my amp any more. I used it a couple of years. Its weaknesses outweighed its benefits. I tried one more powerful valve amplifier, but went back to solid state 10 years ago and have no intention of doing valves ever again.
I did try a valve phono stage, on loan, but now have two solid state phono stages in use (RCM Sensor2 Mk2 and Whest Two.2 Discrete).
in the photo above I was using Colin Wonfor's little solid state phono stage he made for the Tellurium Q brand before they fell out (after he created all of their products).
I've just ordered a new one! I currently have the Jota as per the picture above. I think it sounds amazing with my Audio Note AN-J speakers and has wonderful bass... the kick drums in live albums sounds very life like and I've never thought it needs more bass.
I will be selling my Jota, but I have someone already lined up. The Jota uses 300B XLS valves so around 18w... similar to the Argento.
