I’m curious if anyone gets a chance to compare the GAT vs the ET7, please let us know what you think.
Obviously the GAT2 is top dog, but I wonder what ultimately comes next. The ET7 or GAT?
I basically would love to know what I’d be giving up, if anything, by getting the ET7 instead.

Re: Original GAT vs new ET7?
Nowadays it’s probably GAT2 followed by ET7 series 2. At these levels, it’s very dependent on taste and other gear.
It’s just stuff. I like mine. I hope you like yours. I probably like yours too.
Re: Original GAT vs new ET7?
Totally agree. This is an old post but I finally was able to get the GAT2. Needless to say I’m very happy with that decision.
Now I’m a little torn with what CJ tube amp to pair with it. I have a few different speakers and it depends on what I value most.

I can thoroughly recommend a Classic 120se and if your after a bit more of a musical old school sound or tone, drop in some KT88 like I have! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Original GAT vs new ET7?
I sincerely believe Joe, that with your AG Duo XDs, none other than the ART27A is the amplifier to have!
I've heard it with the exact same horns, plus driving a pair of ML hybrids, which were the Ren 15A, superb!
Read my post under the New ART27A tab, and you'll get the idea...
Although I would definitely recommend one and also order one without any hesitation, I'm affraid it won't do justice to full range stats, such as CLX's in a large room, plenty of ambient space to fill. However, in a smaller room setting with a benign load and much higher efficiency, the ART27A is outstanding! SOTA at it's finest!
Go for it Joe, you won't be disappointed, not one bit mate![😉](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f609.svg)
Cheers and all the best, RJ
