RE: These things are so system dependent...

You're exactly right. Back in the day material technology was very different. Upping a 600v cap wasn't a simple matter. As glorious as the 8b is, it still had an selling price point.

I always wondered what Saul Marantz would have done with the 8b today????

I still say restore the 8b as close to original with some minor tweaking in cap values (as needed). As long as you're not reinventing the driver board or some stupid thing like that - go for it and enjoy it.
