Why so many tubes?

@musicfan 2349,

No it’s a totally valid comparison. You can take 12 el34s and run them conservatively or you can take 8 kt150s and run them hard in dual mono set up.

A V12 top fuel drag car (if they existed) will walk away from the V8 top fuel drag car. There’s no replacement for displacement...remember?

You’re being a bit nitpicky with you’re point...but I think you know the general sentiment.

@ghasley

Yeah, you gearheads are too deep in the weeds on this.

The point...the general point...is that you can run a bunch of small tubes softly (small piston v-12 jaguar) vs fewer big tubes (big block American V8) run really hard. " Depends on the designers goals".

Do you get it now? It’s the general idea as an analogy.

It’s just a valid comparison...not the exact same thing.
