Quick update:
Tried a pair of good 5881's, bias optimized, even balanced the cathode
currents to around 1.5 mA.
No good!
Max p-p volts across 8 ohms = 40 VAC, 200 Hz.
Thus, power = 25 watts.
Pretty much same as 6L6's, not really surprised.
We soldier on...

Did you mean "solder" on? ;)


Even funnier, I read it as "solder on" the first time around.
