OK, so I just picked up a used Triwatt and it came loaded with KT66s. I played with it for a while and was not impressed at all. It was brittle and had no guts at all in any channel input. So to satisfy my curiosity I opened it up to see the tubes and check if anything was obviously burnt out (I AM NOT AN AMP TECH). What I found was the power tube switch was set to 6v6. Obv not a good thing. I switched it to KT66 and some life came back to the amp. More bottom and a fuller range of sound were evident. But, it's still not very loud at all. I am now thinking maybe the bias is off? I would love to check myself and save myself the trip and tech fees. I have a multimeter but I have no idea how to do this or how to adjust? Is this crazy? Let me know.
