Last time I had an amplifier using anything like 811A tubes, they were 
actually 572B, and it took two of them to get 650 to 800 watts out. It 
was a Heath SB-200. Is that really an 811A? I thought they were about 
the same as 572B, so I'm surprised to hear someone is getting 600 watts 
out of one. Maybe it is a new, special one, that runs cooler and puts 
out more power, using the same plate voltage, than the old tired ones I 
am used to.
