KT88 s Sovtek vs Valve Art

I am looking to buy a spare set of tubes for my Sonic Frontier Power 3s. The Sovteks and Valve Arts are the cheapest of the kt88's. Looking for anyone who has used both or either of these types and your impressions.

thanks

The tubes in the Power 3 are most likly Sovteks.Do you not like the sound of the amp.If the tubes are marked Sonic Frontiers then 95% sure they are branded Sovteks.

Leafs, I love the sound of the amps. There are Svetlanas 6550 in there now.

Then the Sovteks would definitely be a let down. The Svetlana 6550 are nice tubes, and the one chance I had to compare them with the Svetlana KT88s showed the latter to be only marginally better.

I don't want to know about Genalex (etc) valves. Please don't tell me more. I still have to put two kids through University. No no no...
