this tube will need 3000 volts with 70 volts bias to get 1600 watts in class B.
how about a 304TL...cool looking tube, and more power..3000 volts..290 volts 
bias, gives you 1800 out

** The sticky wicket is that the Mu of an 833 is a bit low. Thus, to 
drive one takes a bunch.

** 5-813s sounds good.
