Hi, I was looking at the Marshall Silver Jubilee 2525C (I'm looking to buy one) and noticed that it's a 20watt amplifier, I though that it had a pair of EL84 tubes but when I looked at the specs I noticed that it comes with a pair of EL34L tubes, which are normally used for 50watt amplifiers.
How do they use the EL34 tubes to produce less output power, do they feed less voltage to the tubes?
Would it be the same as running the tubes cold-biased?
And lastly, since the output tubes are being used for less power, should that increase the life-span?
Thanks beforehand.
