The 6f6 (especially the metal) have a full rich sound to them. A tonal quality that I have not found for a while in my rolling experience. Interestingly they provide a more full low end than others as well, even though they are the least powerful tube I can run on mine Inspires. I turn down my sub gain when running them. Of course I also turn up the Pre gain.
Both my Inspires are SEP. Tony can likely weigh in on the 6f6 in a SET. I think he has an amp 'strapped' Triode. Not sure how comparable it is to yours. Maybe new OPTs and front end at this point.
Anyway, they are inexpensive. As low as $20/pr for NOS, so not a big investment if you do not like them. They do smell pretty awful when they are burning the paint on. Maybe for :15 minutes you will have to open a window.
