Default Some Interesting New Radios

These are expensive tube radios. But if you have a lot of money and
want to buy something "different," these may be of worth considering.
The company selling them, Quest for Sound, is located in Bensalem, PA;
the radios themselves are manufactured in China (where else?) to a
very high audiophile standard, according to the review, by V.A.L.
Audio.


Looks like only the audio amplifiers of these radios are made with tubes.
Here they a


"Vacuum Tube: 6L6×4 6F2×2 "
"6E2(Magic Eye) "

The 6L6s are familiar to me and the 6F2s and 6E2 are probably Russian
numbers.

Hmmm. 2 6L6s per channel and each channel has only 18 watts (at 10%
distortion!)?


I hope that at least some of you have found this to be of interest.


Thanks for the links.
