Wavac's Monster Tube Amps
by Josh Ray, Nov 03 '05
Wavac has been blowing up the review channels the last few months and, judging from the responses, for good reason. For those that don't know, SET (Single End Triode) is the filet mignon of the tube amplification but only makes 10 watts of power or less, too little for most speakers. Enter Wavac, a Japanese company known for their obscenely powerful SET amps. Here's Positive Feeback glowing about the 150/watt monoblock HE-833 amplifier (pictured):
"Once more Wavac triumphs, and a new "King of SET" reigns in my experience: the Wavac HE-833 v1.3."
For $69k/pair, they should be good. Amazingly, this is only the middle of their price range, with products ranging from $7000 to $350k. Go to the next page for a number of reviews and a picture of the biggest damn tube you've ever seen in your life.
Not 'the biggest damn tube' I've ever seen, but certainly the biggest one I've seen used for audio. Radar klystrons I've seen were ~12" in diameter and ~36" tall - they also put out kilowatts of power.
Ahhh, the glories of yesteryear!
Cheers!
