6BM8 in Minimax

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Last night I received some older EL84 (6BQ5) NOS power tubes for a different amp and was very struck by how very quiet and liquid they sounded.
I also have an Eastern Electric Minimax power amp in a diferent system that is all EE, phono, pre & power playing through Vandersteen 1C's which are 90 dB efficient. I would love to find a 6BM8 that offered that same quality that I heard last night. I have had european Motorolas and presently Svetlanas and was hoping for a reccomendation for a reasonably priced (no more than $100 the quad)roll that would make things a bit more liquid.
