Is a primary impedance of 10K too high for a pair of cathode biased 6L6?
The amp design called for an 8K primary, wondering if I can get by with 10K.
B+ on the plates should be around 370V, expecting power to be around 20W (OT is rated at 30W).
THANKS!

with those values,if you bias at 90/100% you will get full class A.

20 watts and about 3% distortion sounds about right since with a 9K load, 360 plate, 270 screen and a 250 ohm Cathode resistor you would have them outputting 24 watts and 4% distortion while idling at 50 ma.
They will last a long long time with a 10K load since they live great lives with a 8K load!
