I bet it worked a hell of a lot better, didn't it!  You still have the 
MI-200?  I think they were the absolute statement in vacuum tube power 
amps.  Somewhat similar, but not as refined and with gobs more 
distortion was the Altec Lansing 1570A, which had sorry output 
transformers (rapid rolling off below 30hz).  It was designed for sports 
arenas and gargantuan public address systems, which is what the MI-200 
was used for too.  Actually, both those amps were used in industrial 
applications for shaker tables, and motor drives.
