  It is possible to get 18 W in SE pentode mode with KT88 running close to it`s max. dissipation, say Pa=40 W. Two problems - high distortion and very low damping factor demand rel. high negative feedback. Maybe you can take into consideration PP, triode connected?

    Thanks Damir, I was thinking of converting my EL 519 EAR SE amp. But I guess I will just stick to EL 519 type with 12-14 watts output. Anyway, I have a pair of Quad II waiting to be converted, and they sud be around 25 watts...

    Best rgds,

      Try an Ei KT-90, that'll get you to 18 watts more than likely. The type IIs have 50 watt dissipation too, and are well built.
