Might Try Some EL34s In The Lone Star.

[Simon Says]

Nice one, Les. It's wild, though, that the Siemens EL34 are still available here and there. I may get a couple of pairs for the right amp sometimes in future

A long time ago Mesa had a bunch of Siemens branded Mesa EL34s, I think it was STR450. Anyway, a few years ago they found a bunch and sold them specifically mentioning they were Siemens tubes. The price went up and up, though.

I bought four 2-tube matched sets. One set is in my HXDA, two sets are in the Lone Star, and I have a spare set - one of the tubes got a little 'hissy' after 8-9 months, so they're there for emergencies.
