I have lots of 6L6's and 5881's for low headroom and smooth breakup, but I need a set of 6L6's for high headroom. I want a tight bottom and and a good but not bighting treble. What do you guys suggest?

from : localhost/tubeampdoctor.shop-in-worms.n...roducts_id=813

My $0.02

New old stock 7581A tubes (Phillips or GE)

7581s are super heavy duty military versions of the 6L6. Better lows and high end response than any current production tube in my opinion and you need to run them at an insane volumes to make them break up.

try run $90 a pair but you won't have to replace them for YEARS (expected life is close to 100,000 hours).

Who doesn't like a nice tight bottom????

Ever try KT-66s???

the kt66 is another great 6l6 tube that can take lots of juice before breaking up. big round bottom with a good strong top end

My $0.02 Zerb,

Have you tried these yourself?

What did you think?

Clean, Clear, as they state a quot;powerful bass and airy top endquot; (or something to that extent)..... Very quot;classicquot; 6L6 tonally, compared to the ones I´m using now I had the impression that they had more power and broke up later, but I also have to admit I haven´t been tube-shopping in a while

what are you using now zerb?

And TGWIF, what amp are you going to put them in?

I´ve switched amps since then, but I´m currently using these in one side: from : localhost/tubeampdoctor.shop-in-worms.n...roducts_id=819

And ENGL quot;Grade 30quot; 6L6GC in the other...

I 2nd the 7581's

I'd go with phillips, they tend to be a little warmer
