RE: Kit EL84 vs EL34

The EL-84s will dissipate less heat than the EL-34s-
also less power-
EL-84 PP - are 12 -30 watts / pr depending upon the circuit
Less in triode mode-
the EL-34s in a PP amp can be good for 30-50 watts

The sound in a PP or Triode will depend greatly upon the OPT-
the little HeathKit UA-1 or 2 and the Dynaco have great iron...

Back to the heat for a moment- where will you be during the winter?, you may want the EL-34 to keep warm....
Happy Listening
