Mullard EL34 as a choice for your amp.

I am hearing that those EL34 are one of the best if not the best tube in this family. True or false ?

I am asking in regards to my Consonance Cyber 800 mono-blocks. It seems like a costly investment. Is it worth it and why ?

OK,
lots of recommendations ( truely helpful ) , thanks.
From what I read here(& elsewhere) Mullard is the tube of choice if money was not a factor. JJ new/Tesla-nos and some Japanese Ampares (from 70's) not far behind.
Now, Joe said that new JJs have great middle range (weaker in bass) , what about the others??? What they sound like. Anyone cares to shortly describe the sound characteristics, lows & highs of that particular tube.
That would be very helpful in narrowing the choice of tube for specific application and use. Price range would be also appreciated .

Thanks

The New Sensor version of the KT77 is due out shortly...if by experience it can duplicate the quality of sound & reliability of their "KT88 Gold Lion Genelex Reissue" they will have another option worthy of consideration...
Enjoy your music!
