Greetings all...I was wondering if anyone had any feedback as to the build quality and sonic performance of the valve amplifiers that Parts Express is now carrying. There are two of them and here are the links to their specifications.

NUERA 3403PP-A STEREO TUBE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

NUERA 3403SE-A STEREO CLASS A TUBE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

I would be running these (two) in tandem biamplifying the mids and tweets on my JBL L7's, with a single Carver TFM-35 driving just the 12" woofers in each L7 cabinet (side firing) and a
Dayton TITSK-15K 15" Titanic MKIII subwoofer Kit with Dayton HPSA1000-R subwoofer amp. to punch the really low end. I am considering running the entire set up through an Ashly or Behringer Active Crossover setup.

I am seeking input as to the subwoofer size....would a 12" have more musicality? I listen to mostly alternative indie punk music that has a very tight, snappy, punchy bass line...but is very melodic in the mid to upper end. Any ideas or suggestions from the collective minds here would be greatly appreciated....none of this is set in stone, so alternative or unconventional configurations/equipment substitutions are also welcome. I Like to Listen to it LOUD, so as to be able to immerse myself in the sound.....ahhhhhhh...nothing in the world like it!

Thank you my friends.....

Welcome to AR.

Since you like to listen quite loud, do you think you will have enough power with these Nuera models? I gather you would use the 7 watt/ch 3403SE-A for the tweeters and the 35 watt/ch NUERA 3403PP-A for the midranges. The L7's are pretty efficient at 91dB per watt at 1 meter, but if your listening room is large, power might be marginal at best.
