My amps use KT150's...the new KT170's look interesting. Problem is they are so wide that I doubt I can fit them in the space allotted to the tubes on my amps...which I suspect will be a common problem with these new tubes for a lot of folks!
KT 170
I haven't tried the KT 150's yet, now this-

" With the success of the KT120 and KT150 they dialed things up yet again with the KT170 which has a plate dissipation of a whopping 85 watts! A pair of these badboys can put out 300 watts." That's a lot of juice!
Price isn't too shocking, comparing it to the KT 150.
PL owners, Buy them and report back.

Here's tube dimensions https://tubemaze.info/tung-sol-kt170-to-be-introduced/ I'm looking forward to reading user impressions of this big tube. Perhaps the KT150 turned up a notch in all areas? |
