Hi Jordan and Pap and all,
I agree with you about the HiFi series as well. Having a complete Coincident biamped system including PRE speakers, IMO, I also felt these tubes although quieter and less microphonic, were lacking in mid bass and lower bass. I thought that although there was more air present and that they sound a bit bright there was a slight loss in dynamics and speed at the expense of better focus and width as well.
I am truly looking forward to hearing the W.E. replica 101d in the CSLS.
