Re: Actually there's been a lot of debate on this subject ...

Dan,

Since you asked: I've confirmed on Greg's 245 SEer that dissipation and high voltage both are culprits produing a "strained sound" in the SE output stage, and it effects the SE output trannie too !! A low Z trannie is less of a sonic problem IMHO.

See my prior posts by Dennis Fraker from Serious Stereo from 2006 on, re: 5/8ths throttle, etc., do a forum search. `

You may just wanna stay with the KT-88 Dan.

I'd personally optimize the amp's supply and lay out before more tubes were swapped. SEers are critical as to lay out and parts choices.
