Assuming you can spend the money,
take a serious look at the OTL designs of Futterman. They scale well
and do not require an output transformer. Consider wiring your
speakers in series or use custom voice coils so the load is 16 ohms or
more. Eliminate all passive crossovers. Consider multiple amplifiers
per frequency range. Reconsider the choice of speakers. Set an SPL
goal-not a watts goal and work backwards.


The reason to use valves is to get that valve 'sound'. Eliminating some of
the causes of the distortions so beloved of valve enthusiasts defeats the
purpose.
