845B vs. Kron

You know, those are one of the only type of 845 that I *don't* have. I have thought about getting some and talked to E. Kron about it @ CES last year...

The thing that concerns me though is the KR 845 I believe only draws about 1.25A of current (Vs. 3.25A for a normal 845 filament)... so in an unregulated supply, that means about 14+v for the fil. vs the 10v that it is specified for. I have yet to see or read about that issue being addressed and what the solution is (if any). So, that is mainly why I have held off on the KR 845. (it has a metal plate which is cool, but the filament issue, plus the price, have kept me for bothering with it thus far.)

thanks
