I dunno, but get you JJ-EL84 matched quads if you ain't already.
But if you get em from PE, don't order NOTHIN heavy to go with.
Even though I order pillow stuffing, the tubes is loose in bottom
with a bag of heavy T-Nutz and other loose parts nowhere near
the acoustastuff... Still, nothing broken tubewise.

Real happy with JJ. Working great in Fisher X100A-3 push pull.
Voltage is likely very high for EL84, as sockets called for 7189.

Follow Moray advice on placement? Don't follow PE advice, you
can see where they put'm. Sovtek 7591 not packed any better...
Corners, and edges. Ain't that where it surely gets dropped?

Also what Fisher done is probably "right" also. Big weight evenly
balanced at opposite corners makes good sense when you lift it.
