I had some top amp with 211 but i don't like a lot this tube.
Sure are amazing amp with natural sound and good power,but i always found little slow,little roll off and little heavy on mid bass with bass not perfectly correct.
And i had with Audiotekne horn speaker 3 way,woofer Altec 416 and mid and tweeter ALE DE 4550 and 1710 and later with Audiotekne monovia carbon block with super tweeter ALE DEP 1750
and tried also with EV Sentry III with Yamamura super tweeter and Montagna.
I had Yamamura mono with external power supply,push pull of 211,then bought 2 times Gakuon,first Ongaku with volume in front and rca on top,Ongaku,Ongaku KSL,ANUK Jinro
Audio tekne Yamato mono,

and i tried Air tight 211 and listen many times from my friend Gakuon II ( Shinden ) with M1000 mk II and all has this kind of sound.
I had different tubes 211,like RCA,GE,Amperex,ecc
I like much more amp,that i had, with 2A3 and 6AS7G like FAL,a fantastic Japan Integrated by Furukawa,KIOM from Italy,now owner of Riviera,ANJ Neiro Silver and Kegaki,same of Neiro but with silver trans,Kondo Souga and Audioteke tm 9502
View attachment 38329,
even if the only problem is the power because they have from 6 to 11 watt,even if Souga with 8 watt and Audiotekne with 11 watt with their top pre seems to listen a 50 watt amp.
With this amp,for me and my experience sound is much more natural,transparent without roll off
If i will buy a tube amp i will check only amp with 2A3,for me
Regards to everybody
