Based on the above noted specification, yes these tubes will work in your Cary AE211 without issue. I have a lot of 845 tubes, but unfortunately, not the Sophia 845 Mk3 Carbon plate, therefore, I cannot comment on their sound.

Woodpark, what tubes do you have in your 211AE now?

It would be nice if you could report back on the Sophia's once you have them installed. I have the same amp, and would like to know :)

I got sophia tube last month but they could not be used with Cary211M,fuses of 300B blow out when open the power on.This is the answer from Sophia "The problem was the Cary 845 amplifier operates at a relatively high voltage and our 845 burning process voltage did not set high enough (about 1000V)"
