Are power triodes microphonic typically?

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I just bought my first true SET. It's based on the 6B4G output tube, which is the 6V version of the 2A3

Both tubes (1940-1950 vintage Ken-rads) are very microphonic, one extremely so. Is this normal for power triodes?
