You'd want to switch tubes to maybe a higher power pentode like a 6146.
There was someone experimenting with a 6 tube 1500 watt amp but I don't
remember what tubes he used just that the filiment current was around 10
amps.

A higher power tube does seem to make more sense than combining 36 smaller
ones. But unless I'm mistaken, the 6146 is rated for 25 watt plate
dissipation, the same as the 6L6.

Must have read the tube data wrong or the data I was reading was a typo.

Some else suggested using an 813. I can't recall the site but someone
built a 1kw audio amp using them. This guy was a bit on eccentric side if
I recall correctly.



If you live in the Portland Oregon (US) area (I won't ship this thing) I
have an 813 for sale, comes with a ceramic base/socket. Lit the
filaments up for about 10 minutes that is all that it has ever done.
Looks brand new, would probably act brand new as well.

$10.00 US
