Anyway, my plan was to make powerful triode NFBless amplifier for relatively small money. I'm really satisfied with what I did. Maybe I should have done GM70 SE, but what would be my next project then?
The GM70 is a bitch and I do not think you will be able to get away with her with relatively small money. It is not to mention that I never heard good amps on GM70. You have already the 6E5P input stage and it can with a single 6E5P stage to drive the GM70 to 36-40W. Juts power your GM70 with a lab PS and see how it goes. The question is why do you need more power – to driver bass section because you have a large room? Great! Go DSET! With DSET you will have relatively small money spent regardless what kind powerful tube you will be using. You can plug 211/845/GM70 or even GU48 with $200 worth output transformer and get a LOT of juice and 10Hz of full SET power. Still, if you are juts with two Altec-based drivers then they are not truly DSET required and probably to go ways with a single amps is would be better idea. I personally instead of making more powerful triode NFBless amplifier would rather add two more drivers to the Altec. It would give me more bang for back.
