recommended 6922 tubes for a moderate price?


Hello fellow A'goners!
I'm new to tube rolling and have a modest budget, but want to try upgrading the driver tubes (6922's or their equivalents) for my Onix SP-3 integrated amp. I'm driving Vandersteen 2ce's and generally prefer blues, jazz, and classic rock. Hoping to improve that "live" quality and "3D" soundstaging. Would like to keep it under $100 a pair, but don't know how to navigate the world of tubes quite yet. Some of the prior info. may be irrelevant but any suggestions from wiser audiophile brethren is much appreciated! Thanks!

Its been awhile for me with the 6922 tubes but I do remmember going from Russian 6922 to Amperex 6922 and found a world of difference ( Audio Research sp11 mk2 ) in detail and all around musical sound vs. the Sovteks...No comparison..As far as price? They won't be cheap..
Try the JAN-Phillips 6922. It seems to be a very good value.
I bought mine from The Tube Store (http://thetubestore.com/janphilips6922.html). I assume it is available elsewhere, too.

You might try your luck on eBay, also.
Call Andy at Vintage Tube Services, I bought a pair of Japanese made 6922 from him that were very good. Plus, he tests the hell out of them so no duds.
All three mentioned above are good addresses to be trusted. I would be careful with eBay as a beginner.
