Can you get 100 db out of them?

With push-pull parallel EL-34s that thing should come pretty close to achieving it's 100 watt a channel rating.It looks like an integrated preamp version of the VTL Compact 100 to me.
I wonder what that sucker weighs?

Woops. It looked like a pair of EL34 per side. Sorry. 100 watts should drive those pretty well.
Maggie MMGs with only 40 wpc.

That said, if it is anything like my Jolida JD-501 the 12AX7's and 12AT7's have more influence on the sound.That, and a coupling cap upgrade (Jensen's) make all the difference.
I do use NOS Amperex Holland made EL-34's, but I purchased them years ago before things go crazy.
I still have some NOS EL34s. I sold off and traded away probalby 8 matched quads over the years. All before they passed the price of gold, of course.I kept some of the best but man-O-man, if I had a dozen old Mullards back in my hands again to sell now...
I am very glad I kept my El37s, KT66's and miniature signal tube collections intact. No way could I replace them in today's market.
Sure wish I had that sealed, factory matched, Gold Lion KT88 octet back tho.
