Very true and that 27 cfm 085 series blower doesnt come close. Even the 56
cfm version drops to around 15 cfm at the 8877 spec. The EBM spec sheets
have the curves for each model.
I use one similar to the G2E108-AA05-44 on my 2M 3CX1000A7 amp. That tube
also has a 1500W dissipation and it requires 33 cfm @ .6". Definitely a
headphone wearing amp! I could probably get away with dropping the speed a
bit.
