845 amps will "generally" be a little more speaker friendly in regards to what you can drive. They still need some careful selection to match, but will have a bit more power then a 300b (and quite a bit more then a 2A3).

Jan 21, 2021 · General Notes: A good all-around EL84 with a relatively firm body and an appealing, well-balanced tone. Firm lows and silky highs, with just enough midrange to punch through. It’s not so much “dark” as “warm”, retaining sweet highs along with it.

The EL84 is a vacuum tube of the power pentode type. It is used in the power-output stages of audio amplifiers, most commonly now in guitar amplifiers, but originally in radios. The EL84 is smaller and more sensitive than the octal 6V6 that was …

Oct 16, 2013 · I wanted to build a proper SET but tube and transformer costs are huge so I thought I'd start with a single ended EL84 amp for learning experience. I know that some of these set-ups came standard in Magnivox console-pulls.

The Jadis 845NEC produces up to 40W per channel in pure class A. It works with an ECC83, an ECC82, two EL84 then two 845 tubes per channel.
