Just a couple of minor points: Regardless of how much power they're putting out, I don't know too many people that would opt for a class B amp. Both 807's and 6l6's will sound like crap in class B. Secondly the only way you can put nearly 800Volts on an 807 is in Class C RF use.
The 807 and 6l6 in AB1 PP work at very similar operating points and put out the same power. ie 450Va 400Vg2 approx. 140mA into 5600ohms for 55watts out. This is straight off TDSL. You can run 807's hotter than a 6l6 but it doesn't improve the sound from my personal experience.
