Tenor 75 Wi OTL

Just bought this OTL by Tenor.

Living in Destin FL and owning the Atmasphere S30 amp I could remove some power tubes to reduce the heat in the summer. Can this be done with the Tenor?

Kelly High End in Ca. who I bought from said the amps puts off very little heat after being on for a hour or two. BS from the seller?

A customer of mine has this amp:

He can run them all day in his room and not be any hotter, even though his home is not air conditioned and he lives in Guatemala!

He accomplished this by putting the amps in a specific location in the room, above which are hidden ducts that have a moderately-powered fan at the other end. The heat goes up through the ceiling and out of the house. It is an elegant and simple approach. You can sit in the room all day and be perfectly comfortable.

Sorry, I should have been more specific...I was referring to running 6 to 12 6C33C-B's per amp. That tube seems to run much hotter than anything I've ever been near. Maybe that is more of a perception than reality, though.

No you can not use the 5751 tube.

Anyone try different 12ax7a tubes rather than the JJ tubes Tenor specs out?
