No, it was true!
Due to the low impedances involved they were quite broadband.
The biggest headache was to keep the tubes at equal-more or less- current
drains so as not to blow one. At least, when you blew one of 16 out nobody
would notice.

Someone back in the sixties ( SBE ?) made an amp with what ... 16 sweep
tubes ?
Low voltage / high current maybe 500 volts at 10 amps for a 50 ohm plate
impedance.
Never saw one close up, but it was said that it could take out the whole
band...
hear-say of course, so disregard unless verified
