but at $6K for a quad of new WE 300b tubes,
A new quad of WE300b tubes are $3k not $6k. There is a cost of entry to high quality SET. I’m not saying that Chinese 300b’s dont sound good but there is more to the art that costs $$ to get right.

Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! This was brought to my attention a few days ago, and I’ve filled out the form stating that I would love to see mid-priced 6SN7s, 5U4Gs, EL34s, and KT88s from them. I’m not sure how long of a time-frame we’re looking at here, but it appears at the very least that Western Electric is interested in hearing from us! Please fill out the form and don’t forget to put down what tubes you would like to see from them, this could be a good thing!
