Hi Gary!

> A pair of 813's will easily produce 600 watts output and do it for years and

> The same tubes now run at around 2500 volts and still put out 600 watts and
> no color.

> Not the best tube in the world but for the price and as rugged as they are

> They will perform well on a wide range of voltages too. 2000 to 3000 volts.
