Tube Subs in 5E3

rmike	Tube Subs in 5E3 Anyone know where I can read up on this? I know I've seen some stuff in Gerald Weber's books but I don't remember where and can't find it (I've read lots of interesting stuff in there that I remember seeing but can never find it when I need to...) I'd like to try 6L6s in a tweed deluxe clone and would like info specifically on rectifier choices. I'm planning on trying a 5V4GT with 6V6s, but can can I try a 5Y3GT, 5V4, or a 5U4G with 6L6s? I'm new to this but it seems to me that the power transformer will be the constraining factor here. I used a Hammond 270EX. any wisdom appreciated, mike
