I would be very cautious of a single 3CX800 as a replacement for the pair
of 8875s in the MLA2500. The 3CX800A7 is rated for 23 watts of drive and
should give 750 watts output. While the gain is higher than a single 8875,
a single 3CX800 will be much easier to overdrive and will provide decreased
output power.
