WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
the safety precautions around high voltages.
For me EL34 is an option because I have them, 6L6 I don't, just the lighter version from Russia - 6P3S - more like 6L6G (not GC). But this in in the unknown future...I have other projects to finish till then...
