@Igor , you wrote "M25 can't be used with Tanka due lack of gain" - does it mean that the max. 12 dB gain isn't enough?

Mightiness, I will order soon, I have some issues... currently: pneumonia 🤔
Hi Istvan,
in my case it's not enough. You see, I have a DAC with output transformers and my tech wired them in step down ratio (4:1). Doing this we lower output impedance but also the voltage.
I may present 2nd system in which M25 will be used (Tannoy 15'' speakers) but later

Would it be a possible, or is it just a bad idea to drive a couple of matched THF 51S with something of this this principle?

Or something like a high bias ST70 but with twin Tokin Sits, instead of twin EL34s per channel, and no output transformer for the Tokins- Just for fun? 🙂

I had been thinking about this sort of thing for a bit then i happened upon your post. Some kind of DC-coupled amp where the current sloshes back and forth between two symmetric stages. distortion in the rough sketch is 0.35% @ 10W and almost entirely -H3 (1kHz, LTSpice, perfect matching, etc..) which i guess isn't very desirable.

Should be possible to do this with choke-loaded source follower, but i haven't looked into it yet. distortion seemed worse.

oops. the uncharged input caps were shifting the Q point. reducing them to 2uF gives the correct results. with no other changes, distortion is actually 1% @ 6.5W and almost entirely +H3 (made a mistake reading the log). i could not edit my earlier post.
