A kit similar to the original WAD 300B Stereo PP?

Hi Richard (others),
If you could indicate what you would have liked as a polling category it would be good to know for the future.

Regarding 'flagship', the old WAD 300B PP was the most expensive early kit offered and is regarded by many as the best too (one of the discarded babies, like the big watted KEL80!). When a kit in a range is the most expensive and the one regarded most highly it is going to be viewed as a flagship no matter how it is marketed. The old PP was so aspirational that Greg and his posse bought it back from the dead!

I agree though that others have different tastes and requirements, e.g. many were happy with the sweet old KEL84 and many liked the qualities of the 6550 too. But a range is a range and the majority of punters will always see the most expensive amplifier as the one to aspire to.

As Nick said WAD did offer a 300B SE as a cheaper alternative to their own monoblock flagships, but they got too 'distracted' to sell any! Did anyone ever hear it?
(EDIT - Paul's comments about Mark seeming to know that an over performing 300B-SE could ruin sales of the pricier 300B-PSE are relevant. People expect better sound from a more expensive amplifier, especially if it uses the same valve!)
