My Leak Stereo 20 has EL84 tubes 38mm between centres, and the tubes are 19mm wide. What would be the contra-indications of mounting tubes too close? Over-heating or what? Click to expand... I think that heat concentration causing excessive operating temperature would be a big problem caused by too-close spacing of power tubes.
