Can't imagine why anyone would ever want an amp with EL34s in.
They never were really much good, and if you start to test one anywhere close to the limits the screen grids melt.I agree about SCOTT, there's quite a few LK/222 series in with 7591.
You can buy them for next to nothing.
The 7591 always was a lot better than any EL34/6CA7 solution and the valves seem to last for ever.Another sleeper is the good old Bogen 6AV5 based amps DB230.
They are getting harder to find, but sound gorgeous.I make my own amp which is far better than either & is 3U format.
(50W RMS genuine per channel, with incredible linearity).(It's plain, ultra discrete, has balanced inputs & has wifi/ethernet integrated to control it all.)
