Hello,

Conceptually, I think its a very good idea, as you will have four times the peak current capability that you had with your P-P amp. Peak current control is exactly what less efficient speakers' voice coils love to "see".

Your output transformer will be low Z, which means high bandwidth.

I would triode connect the KT-88s, do not push their dissipation (no more than 390 VDC P-K, consider 360 VDC) and use self bias.

Is a One Electron UBT-1 another possibility ?

Now, the devil is in the details. Good luck, keep us informed.
