I was curious as to the wattage and gain. This is helpful thank you.What specs are you looking for? only spec I'm aware of would be 0.75wpc
Best spec: Blissful audio coming out of speakers

hmm not sure about gain, but I'll ask.I was curious as to the wattage and gain. This is helpful thank you.
It’s all good, wattage is enough, thank you!hmm not sure about gain, but I'll ask.
I got Fast-8 setup in the OBs. Very interesting sound and good match to Oliver's 45 amp. There is a bit of that shout going on and bass is shallow, but resolution on mids and imaging is very nice. These also work well with my Class A Push-pull pentode 6L6 integrated.alas, i live in santa fe; you might look for woodworkers; ny mag has a best of list every year and there might be a listing for a woodworker/cabinet maker; even a good handyman might do.
just to get in the game and try it out you can use foam insulation board to make a temporary baffle:
this is what i tried when i first got into OBs (fyi: there is a great OB thread over on AK)Owens Corning FOAMULAR NGX F-250 2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. SSE R-10 XPS Rigid Foam Board Insulation 52DDNGX - The Home Depot

Nice early Gallo’s!!!! I love my Reference’s. I would be happy to take those off your hands.I got Fast-8 setup in the OBs. Very interesting sound and good match to Oliver's 45 amp.

I’ve never heard the OF Gallo’s but they are supposed to be fantastic.Nice early Gallo’s!!!! I love my Reference’s. I would be happy to take those off your hands.
Yes, these are OG Gallo Reference 1. I really like these speakers I had them for like 20 years now. I bought and sold a lot of other speakers from Stax, Focal, Symdex, Klipsch, Apogees and etc. I even had newer metal ball Gallo speaks that I sold, but these I really like.Nice early Gallo’s!!!!

Never heard any of Oliver’s stuff but dude sure can do a layout.Decided to have Oliver custom build me a preamp to match my 71a.
I previously had a 37/76 based pre that Oliver built (he already had it so no personal upgrades) and kinda regret selling it. My current preamp is a McIntosh C22 MKIV. Amazing preamp with high end phono built in. But thought it might be overkill for me.
So reached out to Oliver to start a new one. He recommended the 37/76 as a great match with the 71a so I said let’s put the best of what you can in it.
- Luhndal Sweden chokes
- Finement OPT’s
- Slagle 15 step autoformers
- balanced input.

Hi to all current and future Oliver's amplifier owners.
Really want and starting to think about adding flea-watt amplifier into my system.
My main amplifier is 300B driven by C3M tubes, with Tango OPT. My speakers are DIY back loaded horns with 10" full-range drivers. Sensitivity is ~97-98dB. I got plenty of power, dynamics and sound pressure from 300B. Listening mostly jazz, blues and classical on vinyl.
However, I would love to have flea-watt integrated. From reading here and Glow in the Dark Audio--Tube Amps I'm interested in 421a, 46 or 71a tube based amplifier.
I'm pretty sure 421a would have enough power. 46 or 71a tubes - not so sure, but I'm brave man, and willing to risk
My biggest concern or what I'm mostly looking in next amplifier - I love warm, romantic, lush and vintage sound from my 300b. Generally speaking - which one of 421a / 46 / 71a theoretically should or could have the most warm sound (considering that other components such as driver tubes, rectifiers, transformers etc. would be selected to match this need)?
Sorry for such vague question, but I'm pretty sure that we have here audiophiles who heard more amplifiers than me, and more specific somebody who have experience with different Oliver's creations.
