Besides very expensive i don't see why the elrog 211 should have reliability problems.
But i do see problems for the elrog 300b because that has an overstretched thoriated tungsten filement instead of oxidecoated. But again there are no isues for the 211 so far i can see at the moment.

  RCA 211 if you can find a pair actuall NOs will be about $1500. The GE is fine. RCA is a very warm sound. you not even like it. No experience with Elrod. I own RCA, GE and united 211's. very familiar with them.
