If they are both on on open baffle, yes.

I wonder if the B5 has any current-source filters for the likes of F1 - F2.

The input to the F1 and F2 are both typical voltage based inputs, and the B5 will work just fine with them.

Just as an FYI, the F2 j-fet is an especially nice amplifier. It is both single ended, and has the j-fet, so it sounds like a really nice SET. But it also has extended highs and lows into a fullrange driver due to its being a current source amplifier, and is cleaner sounding. Highly recommended if you can get one.

At this time I can't compare it to the F1 J-fet because Nelson won't return mine.

Anyone know if the the B5 have any gain?

Nelson Pass · 2nd December 2010, 12:05 AM

Not enough to be used as a gain stage, but it is a good buffer.

labjr · 2nd December 2010, 12:12 AM

Thanks,

Just may need a little gain for use with an F5 and another amp.
