10,000 or perhaps even 40,000 hr Well, this looks like exactly the WE site speech talk for its new 300B.
I would not want to use them [300b] in parallel though.
Why? To what other tubes does this also apply?TIA,
My comments obviously refer to a SE topology, within reasonable power limits - just want to be clear about that.A single 300B can provide enough power for a decent selection of speakers and listening preferences. Paralleling adds cost and complexity, and according to some, introduces sonic compromises (I don’t have an opinion about that).If I wanted more power than a particular single tube can provide, I’d use a different single tube. Now, once our power needs pass a certain point, this becomes impractical.Again, YMMV.
