"The Casablanca’s are aptly named for their classic good looks and commanding performance. They came about in response to repeated requests by our customers for a single-ended amplifier with the power to drive non-compliant or inefficient speakers. Typically high power single-ended amplifiers are either run in pentode or using exotic power tubes; we opted for a push-pull based amplifier; the larger version of the Stereo 15.
The Casablanca’s provide 60 watts with KT88/6550 power tubes and 45 watts with EL-34s. Based on the Eico circuit and using a 12AX7/6SN7 front end allows access to a vast array of NOS/NIB tubes. The Casablanca’s come with 8ohm and 4ohm taps and can be ordered with 16ohm taps if desired. To provide reliable power and a sweet sound, we turned to our design partners and carefully evaluated two new takes based on similar designs; the Eico HF97 and the Dynaco MKIII. We built both and did a shootout with the reigning king of push-pull amps, the McIntosh MC275." - Amps And Sound
