Interesting, but would any current amps be able to work properly with a KT170? Simply plugging in a bigger tube doesn’t mean more power. Most amps can’t maximize a KT120 let alone a KT150’s unless they were designed with those tubes in mind.
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.

"Interesting, but would any current amps be able to work properly with a KT170?" Important point. I haven't confirmed yet, but I'm thinking the upper level line of Prima Luna will accommodate these new bottles, as they do for the KT150. https://primalunablog.com/2020/10/30/tung-sol-kt170/ |
I asked Ayon USA about the 170 and they said: So yes we tested the KT 170’s and as with anything new they are quite unstable. Same thing happened with the 150s when they first came out and over time Tingsol fix them right up. So, maybe eventually they'll relent. |
