   Quick update:   
   Tried a pair of good 5881's, bias optimized, even balanced the cathode   
   currents to around 1.5 mA.   
   No good!   
   Max p-p volts across 8 ohms = 40 VAC, 200 Hz.   
   Thus, power = 25 watts.   
   Pretty much same as 6L6's, not really surprised.   
   We soldier on...   
      
   Did you mean "solder" on?  ;>)
