Hi, just FYI...in class A push pull a pair of EL84s at 225-275 V B+ will deliver about 5 watts in Ultra linear mode and about 6.5 watts in pentode mode. Triode mode is just about 4 watts. All at less than around 1% THD+N without negative feed back. Also FYI all my designs for amps (4 watts to 40 watts) are a forced class A U/L mode. Inefficient for sure, but really nice sound. Well designed class AB amps can sound really nice as well, but I have seen none without negative feedback that do so. IMO NFB alters the sound...in hard to define ways and is a cause for considerable consternation in the audio field. Lots of arguments on it. A SE amp can work either way...but then they are all class A.

Good Listening
Bruce
