Hi Romy,

Your the first person that I have seen that seems to have actually made PP tube amps work with compression horn drivers.  It has been my experience that PP amps don't like the low watt operating range.  I supose it all is a matter of the splitting and recombining of the AC signal, along with the careful matching of the tube pair.  The thing about any tube amp is that just because you have any specific amplifier doesn't mean your getting the same results of the guy next door, because they are so component dependant.  You can have the same brand of tubes, but even tube to tube the sound can change within the same brand.  I see potential for PP tube amplifiers, but I have never thought them a canidate for horns.
