KT88 Opinions

My Sonic Frontiers Power 2 is due for a re-tubing. Just curious what the consensus is for KT88/6550. So far it seems like SEDs or Gold Lions are the way to go. What are your thoughts?

Data sheet says two valves in class AB1 gives a continuous output of up to 100W. I've used the following to retubed my MC275s and C500T: http://www.dougstubes.com http://www.musicdirect.com http://www.tubedepote.com [url]http://www.tubeworld.com[url/] is another great source.

Genelex Gold Lion KT88 will not disappoint. Used them to replace my Tung Sol reissued 6550--no slouches--and was quite pleased. I have a Cary SLI-80 Signature.

No direct experience, but some good words from a respected friend. Good words in the Brit HiFi press. I'd look into them as well.
