Several companies "stuffed" tubes in their sets. Agree about Midwest, but although I find the sound quality lacking for an 18-tube set with P-PP 6V6s, my Midwest 181 is an excellent receiver.

Zenith often did this with their higher-tube count sets. Two 5Y3s can easily be replaced with a single 5Z3 or 5U4.
