406 they come from a bolero speaker, they are good for voices.
I don't like to have a 15" with a compression chamber, even a 515 with an horn (the best I have heard for the medium).
I have olso try with a 414, I prefer the 406.

Just enough to make the kit.
Most useful, especially now that we have some information on your speakers. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Yes, yes and no. I drive them with UGS pre and a pair of F4 monoblocks. Lately I have been playing with tube amps kits (EAR SE and ANK PP) with and without F4 buffers to the TADs only. They all have their pros and cons and the results are sometimes surprising. Your happy match of the Sony VFET DIY with your speakers encourages me to move this build to the top of my list.
Hi
I had make a A.N. 300b kit 10 years ago, I don't have make direct comparaison.
I only can say that a prefer the Vfet part2 to l'amp, a mini Aleph, the Aleph J and a TA1600.
I think this amp is very precise with it's low distorsion.
I would try some vaccum amp again, but I don't want to have problem with tubes, black gate caps and so one.
The last tube amp I have heard were not enough precises to me.
My apologies
I didn't mean to hijack this thread with my earlier questions about speakers.
I've started a new thread for Pass amp owners to share their experiences of what speaker designs work best to compliment our 25 watt works of art.

Done. New thread is here:

Good idea, because in my experience most Pass amps like a similar type of speaker, so better to have a more general audience
Edit: I was thinking of the First Watt Pass amps being more similar In their needs. The Pass Labs amps work great with less efficient speakers also so really they have all types covered
