No new 813s? RF Parts has Taylor brand listed for $37.95.
The comparison was to a *single* 3-500Z, not a pair. A pair of the
Taylors would run about $76 where a new 3-500Z would be about $140.
In the big picture of amp building, a $64 difference is not much,
especially when you remove the cost of one socket, one plate
connector, one parasitic suppressor, etc.
Personally, I'd go with the GS-35b however.
