Mesa MK3 Biasing Question

Ethan	Mesa MK3 Biasing Question Hi, I saw a thread awhile back about biasing a Mesa simul-class MK3. I have a mint wood/wicker combo, don't play it much but it looks good in the living room! Anyway, I want to hook it up with 4 Sovtek 5881's (could go USA 6L6 too). With my biasmeter, I'm getting about 12-13 ma in the middle sockets and about 40 ma in the outers in simul mode. Any suggestions as to what current I should look for? I have a bunch of matched quads so I want to find the best one for the amp- Thanks, Ethan
