Finally got my 300B savers in, so I can go 100% savers on all sockets now (courtesy of eBay seller "xulingmrs"):
 

 
 
Swapped back in the Meshes to try to get a better idea how they compare to the SERPs. Also got some new Sylvania brown bases.

EML 300B mesh? I'd be very interested in any comments you might have on the SERPs vs mesh. I have SERPs and my next 300Bs might be the EML mesh.

Congrats. Thanks for your recommendation on the savers as well.

I have to say that is the most amazing photo I have seen on this site for such a long time.

Enjoy it is amazing.

No, just the cheaper Sophia Meshes, which are my backup tubes. If I do buy another high-end pair of 300Bs it will likely be the EMLs.

Thanks, I just got a DSLR (Canon SL1) and there is no comparison with the crappy point-and-shoots, lol.

Are you liking the SERPs?
 
I found the SERPs a big step up from the Sophia meshes (as they should be @ $1200 bucks a pair). The extension up and down is very good. My EATs come close, but no other 300B I have matches the bass from the SERPs.

Can the WA7 be set on top the Matrix X-Sabre without being a weight issue or a heat issue?
 
Edit: and how would that (Matrix X-Sabre -> WA7) pair with HD800 ?

Yes, I am. Took a couple dozen hours to burn in properly but they produce a strong, dynamic, but liquid sound that is simply delicious. The meshes I have in now are clumsier, but they are also not even close to burnt in. I will keep them in for a few more days for a fairer comparison.

I love the sound of high-end 300Bs - yummy, yummy stuff - only downside is the price. Flagship 300Bs are just crazy in the pricing.
 
My big rig amp uses 2A3s driving 845s - the 2A3s are roughly half the price, and the 845s the same price, as an equivalent 300B.
 
I cannot believe that it takes half the effort and/or materials to make a 2A3 vs a 300B, or the same for 845 vs 300B. The 845 is a big bugger of a tube that smacks out 20-24W of audio goodness - how can it have the same pricing as the eqivalent 300B?
 
Perhaps the pricing of vintage WE300B has skewed the market pricing for all 300Bs? I'm not sure why it is the way it is, but it is strange.
