According to web, el34 needs 20H for 15Hz -3dB.
Pse 4p1l has twice gm; half ra.
So, 35H should not be any problem.

Your LL1682 DF with 8r spk, is about ~12, higher than "standard" 300B..(~5)
I don´t know, maybe such DF is common in the PP territory ;)
Well, now your boomy bass has gone bye bye

LL1664 /8 DF ~4,3

Could you show how you calculate the DF being ~12?
I calculate ~7, about the same value as with 300B.
Agreed that the parallelled 4P1L's should have enough LF bandwidth with LL1682.
 
hpeter,
You are making progress by including the primary DCR, but you are not there still by forgetting secondary DCR.
The right math: (690 + 210) / 1100 = 0,82, + 0,4 (secondary DCR) = 1,22. This is output resistance.
Damping factor with 8 ohm load is 8 / 1,22 = ~ 6,5.
We presume loudspeaker cables to be 0 ohm....
