A 25L6 (or 50L6) is nowhere near the same tube as a 6L6. With a 25
volt @ .3A filament, it's ratings are identical to the 6W6 which has a
6.3 volt @ 1.2A filament - (do the math), and the RCA manual shows 2.1
watts maximum signal power output for either version. With the added
7.5 watts of "wattage waster", the Boulevard receiver provides a solid
4-5 watts of audio.
