6V6s are functionally interchangeable - they have virtually the same voltage limits and plate-plate impedance as EL84s. On a fixed bias amp you might need to vary the bias resistor value. 6V6s filled the same function in the US as EL84s did in Britain - moderate power audio tubes for radios, stereograms and the like. Wire your amp with octal sockets and have at it.
