From the manufactures I have spoken to (very few, I admit), the concern is that with the price may still be prohibitive to use the new tubes. Look at a few GS threads and I see people trying to find a complete mic, compressor, or preamp for less money than a tube!
But, if each of us goes out and buys a pair of these tubes (or others) for future use, who knows, maybe JJ will prosper and they prices will come down.
I can cross my fingers anyway!
