Yeah, and 12 watts on an EL84 is almost Ice cold!
My Guytron runs em at 17-18 watts static (45-50ma)!

Since max rated dissipation for an EL84 is 12 watts, I
wouldn't call it ice cold. I'd call 17-18 running the
bejeezus out of 'em[1]

However, static dissipation equal to max dissipation does not
necessarily mean class A.



[1] though 17-18 is a nice static point for class ab1 el-34s
