NOS Western electric 300b's if you can find them. If you do find them, they will be on the expensive side.
I have 8 western electrics. Real good shape. PM me if you're interested - but you won't like the price. They go for around $2500 a piece.

Are those the type from Kev's avatar?
* And earlier I was talking with a nice young chap with a budget of $200-250 for both a pair of speakers and a receiver.
Lots of great vintage gear....a pair of Altec Lansing speakers and a used Marantz or something.

You don't have to buy the rarest of rare 300b's to get great sound.

since you have to buy 8 of them i wont recommend the $1200 a pair sophia royal princess. but if you got the cash then go for it. you wont be sorry. im having great success with the sophia princess mesh plates, they were $450 a pair delivered. and lush isnt the word!!! they out dueled the genlex, psvanes ,electro harmonics so far. easily , more tests to come they also have the carbon plates which i hear are super for the $525 a pair. go to galen carol audio they sell the sophia tubes cheaper than you can get them from sophia for and same 1 year warranty. good luck and congrats on the amps!! did you get them from canary joe??

I saw a matched pair on ebay. The price was an astronomical $13,999.00. Several people were watching .

That's my retirement plan. Buy all these now and in twenty years I can start selling tubes from my hacienda in Belize.
