Indeed. The system that sticks most in my mind is a pair of WATT/Puppy 8s driven by an all-tube BAT system at the NY show about 10yr ago. Still recall how impressive that was. Sold my VK-300xSE w/phono about six months ago. Victor at BAT told me the last time I was in there (they are under an hour away) that the NOS Soveit era 6H30s they sell are the "real deal" and will transform any piece of BAT gear that uses them. While I did not spring for a pair, I have recently gone with some Soviet era EL84 tubes for my Luxman integrated and they were a big step up in sonics, so the 6H30s that BAT sells could well do the same.
