Anyone build a good 5-50W powered hybrid amp? I'm not happy with commerical
MOSFET hybrids (too soft).

I have seen a schematic using a unity gain 6SN7 front end and standard
push-pull stage.

I have built hybird amps amp with 5881/6L6GC and 6BQ5/EL84 output tubes.
I used FET's and a quad op amp in a direct coupled circuit.
They sounded great!!!

You mean lacking in dynamics? That's not my experience, at least not
with my own contraption.

Go for it! The 6SN7 is a very good sounding tube. Too bad the BJTs
destroy that character

No the SS amps have huge dynamic reserves. I mean loss of fine detail and
low bass definition. Sort of worst of all worlds.

Has anyone invented a tube class T amp?
