6 watts RMS triode out, 12 watts RMS tetrode out. Have not decided if I will install a triode/tetrode switch.

8x 6V6 per channel is 24 watts triode & 48 watts tetrode. 6V6G tubes are so expensive, but you can buy Sylvania CHS 7C5 (same Sylvania 6V6G tube). Do not buy non CHS Sylvania 7C5.
The Sylvania CHS 7C5 & Sylvania 6V6G are the best sounding 6V6 ever made. In fact, I would not consider other brands. NOS 7C5 show up on ebay for $10 per tube,
I have an idea. The metal 6L6 is the most linear 6L6 ever made. The 6L6G 6L6GB & 6L6GC are different tubes and not as linear. The 6L6 metal tube is similar to 6V6 in triode. At 350 volts plate you would get close to 20 watts in triode. Fixed bias is about -27 volts. Perhaps 18 watts. Change 5965 to a 6SN7 or a cheaper 7N7. Use another 7N7 to drive both phase splitters.
