The power output and other characteristics between the 6A3 and 2A3 are essentially the same. Perhaps a bit more HT can be used with the 6A3. They are treated as separate bottles in the literature, not just same except for filament like many other valves.
I think the tops are a bit nicer with the 6A3, but it may be just my imagination.
The difference in price of the amps just reflects the somewhat dearer more rare 2A3.
Below: This is a reggae "sound system" these bods have built. "HiFi" they say. Not sure I want to hear it.
Some neigbours right near me have been spending months building a reggae sound system into their car with two 15" woofers in the boot. It's disconcerting to have the glass rattling in my living room window while I try to listen to some music. I did go out and confront them last week, explaining that I couldn't hear my stereo and could they perhaps turn it around and down or something. They momentarily reduced it a couple of db.
I've sorted that now though with a small outdoor PA horn pointed and bathing them in 4500HZ. That seems to have done the trick. A summer of thunder? I think not. They don't look pleased!
