   6DW5 vs. 6BQ5/EL84

   Why is it that the 6DW5 is not used any longer in PP audio amplifiers.   
      
   A pair can output 30 watts vs 17 watts for a pair of 6BQ5 /EL84.   
      
   The price of the 6DW5 is a third of the 6BQ5.   
      
   I remember adjusting the different bias of my father's BOGEN DB230 40   
   years ago. A 7199 drove a pair of 6DW5.
