Do it asap! I'm not bullshiting! IT will save a lot of time and effort.The Paramour is a great amp but the 2226H really likes a push pull 6550 the best, maybe a 8417 amp, I won't go there.
I've run the following amps:
SE:
The Noreaster 572-10 with 811-10 and -3 variations
6b4G
5881
EL34
6550
6L6GC
Sorry no 300Bs but the Noreaster will most likely be refit with 300Bs when the 572-10s go bad.
All with various iron and designs some mine some other folks.Push pull:
HEath aa-151 stock and moded
Many different Fisher and Scott integrateds and recievers
Eico HF20s stock
Push Pull 6B4G with Scott iron and Eico HF20 iron Interstage and LTP phase splitters.
Dynaco ST70
HK Citation 2
Bogen MO200s stock and modded with EL34s
Bogen KO100s Stock and with minor power supply mods
A EL34 amp using Stancor iron and modified Mulard design to the "T"
Sansui Q50s (A great amp pair if you can find them)
Mac 40s
6C45s on a Seares chassis.
Again some of the amps were\are mine some other folks.Solid state:
several classic Kenwoods KA601s, KA6100, KA7100
An NAD integrated
Sorry not much solid state comes into my house.You get the point 7 years of all kinds of tube amps in many topologies in several rooms at several houses.
Just borrow a push pull 6550 amp from someone and stop pussy-footing around. You'll be shopping for one the next day.
The 2226H just seems to click with these tubes, great synergy.
