There's quite a few of us on AoS who've come to the same conclusion. But, yes, these are superb amps ...

They are superb, and at 46kg each a lot of iron for the money. A quick Google will tell you the general opinion.
So what this really means is that MY 8L6 should go to the top of YOUR wish list!!
