TK,Who'se your market? If you're trying to make a mass produced amplifier you probably will need to stick to the the more mass produced components so that you can cut every penny in production to satisfy the backers/bankers that you'll need to get into and keep production. And the musicians are going to care less cuz you're selling price more than absolute build.
Now if you're heading quickly for the big time you probably already know the answers. Those professional musicians with the cash pick up a $5K amp "cuz they like it" - while usually savvy about specific components, and often with some tech skill, are also aware that your can still find 6973s and 7355s and such if you really look so they don't give a "rodent's rectum" about the particulars as long as they amp sounds good and the particulars make sense (they will wonder why you're using chinese 6l6s in a 5K amp though but not an "exotic" nos tube). Unless you're already working in G'nashvegas and know the pros or unless you're a dentist working in a group of dentists who all like to play guitar and have $$$ it's hard to make money crafting guitar amps. Too much cheap stuff on the common consumer end and too much hogging of vintage equipment on the more money/less skill professional sector. Only a few ways to plug in and be successful.Lotsa luck
