[WRL] 816 sub

[Jim Wilhite]

Hi Bob,

The literature I have here says the SS sub for the 816 is the same as the 
866/3B28 for reduced voltage is the T7KV which is rated at 7 KV and 300 ma.

My B model came with 866s in it so you probably would be better served 
putting a solid state in their places.  I had a B&W LP1 that used four 816s 
in a bridge and they gave trouble frequently, so I don't like the tube 
particularly.
