Caps in parallel with identical values double in value and stay at the same voltage.
#Filter and amp section of syntorial really hard series
For identical caps in series ,the caps halve in value but double in voltage. Traynor did their filtering in a strange way with one 80uf 450v cap in series with two 40uf 450v caps in several places in the amp.

Use more efficient speakers or more speakers if you want more volume. Going with larger caps in the power supply will allow that amp to reproduce bass frequencies quicker, so the bass will sound tighter and a bit more present, but it won't give you any more power out of the amp. Four 6550's will put out more power on the same voltage than four E元4's any day of the week, so you are comparing apples to oranges. So breaking that down further, your power supply which includes the power transformer, the filter caps, type of diodes (tube or solid state). Power output is determined by the B+ voltage, the power tubes used, and the output impedance and how well that matches what the tubes want to see.
