From the Stereophile measurements: "The La Scala will work best with amplifiers that are not fazed by 4 ohm loads,"
Make sure whatever you build has the correct OPTs for a 4 ohm load or multiple taps.

For me with classical and jazz I would go from .025w to 0.25w (@ average) to 2.5w (maybe a little more). All approximate of course, with a few extra watts on top (@7w max power) because you don't want to be at the system limit all the time.

Hey @Edward Kirk. Feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss what you’re looking for. I have some parts on hand taking up space I could build a few different amps out of.
He needs 5? posts before he can send a PM.

Why are you selling?

I don't want to rehash the whole train wreck, this says enough "Today, BC Audio is closing. Sales are very slow."
To respond to the latest post, those involved can say what they want AFTER the facts came out, all the specs were there for everyone too see and had not been changed or corrected.
JC was the first to respond and it was not pretty. A lot of his spin posts have, thankfully, disappeared.

300B is sold. Going in a completely different direction.
Need to revise your signature. 😉
If I were in the market for a push/pull this would be sold. 👍

Sorry I didn't drink the kool-aid, aka the JC spin.

Shame that management and quality control was not paying attention to easy to observe "defects" with the main product they were building and selling at that time. Can't blame an audio equipment reviewer for seeing it.
AFAIK it all started when someone sent a unit to a tube amplifier builder in the NW for repair and then after accusations the one he had was some kind of kit built at a BC thingy the tube amp builder bought a new one with his own money and had it shipped to Amir for corroboration. There was already another tube amp guy that had commented on the same thing before (can't remember details and don't want to research), so 3 accounts proved it was indeed a design or production failure.

Why is shipping 4 times what it should be?

3/8
I find 5/16 (or 2.5/8 😉) is usually enough.

Music is very dynamic, so it is good to have more amplifier power than your average requirements.
Some (recorded) music is very dynamic, so how much more do I need if 1/4 watt average?

Why?
Easier to refinish/modify as they are.

DuraTex or ExoHyde and some labor can make them look a lot better.
Maybe for a basement or garage.
If they were closer I would buy them as they are, but I would not if they were duratexed.
My opinion, as always YMMV, FWIW, etc.

I don't know if I will be able to explain what I mean to you and how our views apparently differ because I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it... edit: okay maybe more than I meant to considering how long this post is. :-)
Yes I know there are a number of people like your video guy, but for everyone like him there are others that try different things for knowledge and understanding realizing they are usually making sideways moves or even going a step or two back occasionally.
Speaking for myself I don't have to go to others (video reviews or forums etc) to ask what will work for this or that and will I like it because I have enough experience I know what works for me.
The majority of my purchases have been used and get sold for not much if any loss. The money saved if I were still using my first system would have been spent on something equally nonessential. ;-)
Another forum has quite a few members that bought a system in (insert decade here) when they were young and still use it having never tried much if anything else, more power to them but I have enjoyed a journey of exploration that has been very satisfying and I was very happy with all but a few purchases over the years.
Always looking for better was very rarely the basis for something new/different.
I know a lot of folks that have done the same with no regrets.

I've seen so many people change gear and while it can be fun to try new gear, it does indicate that listeners are still in search of better sound.
That's not even close to 100% true IMO/E.
Do you always go to the same restaurant and get the same meal?

But, like I said originally, I am not an audiophile, but I can tell the difference, I just don't want to invest the amount needed to get to that level.
Your post sounds like audiophile talk to me.
Smart audiophiles get excellent equipment they can afford, it can be hard to enjoy top of the line everything when up to your eyeballs in debt.

I assume you are referring to passively bi-amping, it's the same as one 100 watt amplifier.

How do you pop the caps out? I'm totally lost here. My 600Ms are beautiful...but they came with absolutely no instructions and it seems impossible to "pop the end off" to expose the openings for banana plug insertion.
When I encounter them in amplifiers I use a drywall screw or similar to twist into the Euro safety plugs and pull them out.

More information would be useful.
Is one or more components new?
Who rebuilt the ALKs? Is it possible one woofer is out of phase with the other? Have you tried reversing the + and - on one side?
