They have the punch the 6L6's have and the low end you are wanting.
Don't these have a protruding anode that needs to be cabled and capped? I'm not a fan of having that kind of voltage sitting on the tops of my outputs. Makes reaching over them a little scary. I'm pretty new to the game, so maybe I'm not aware of all the ways these tubes can be used...
I also took a cursory look at Ty's Russian 6P3S-E's and the price can't be beat if you don't mind direct shipping from Siberia. They seem to be a close replacement for 6L6's, 5881's...which I would definitely try if I was interested in going totally over to tetrode and dealing that change. My main interest lies in the option of drop in tetrode comparison to the EL-34's and being able move back and forth without major bias issues. For that purpose the EH's seem to be a winner. Anybody know offhand if the original US made 6CA7's were tetrode?
