In Reply to: How good is the sound of 6BM8 based tube amps? posted by Raver on December 11, 2003 at 23:42:52:
as good as el84's but with less power.IME more chunky from the mid bass through lower mids, surprisingly linear even in pentode.
Just a pair in SE with a slow start rectifier tube, or NTC thermistor's, would make an ideal bedroom amp, just IMO.
I wouldn't use more than 2 in PP or PSE per channel though.
They also make great headphone amps, I am told.
