WE made a comeback, I read somewhere they recently started to manufacture original genuine 300B tubes made in USA

 

They talked about that, when they were at AXPONA 2019. They were talking prices in the 1K range for the tubes, each, if I remember correctly. The price on website is 700 USD each and more for match doubles and Quads. Since I am not a tube guy, I don't know if those prices are in range for 300B's out there.

Umm... I don't know too much but I thought getting anything significant higher than 8w per channel from a 300B single ended amp with one non-variant (300B XLS e.g.) output tube is really far-fetched. What kind of sorcery is this Steer Current Source thing? Anybody know exactly how it's supposed to work?
