I have a pair that I haven't listened to in a couple of years. I thought they were great tubes, and a great match for my system until - and it appears you did the same - I put the WE reissues in the amp. Since then, the Taks have been sort of cold and lonely.
In terms of your question, I seem to remember having a perception of the Taks getting much better with some use, but I just don't remember specifically what changes I heard or the amount of use before they blossomed. I used to keep notes on stuff like that but stopped doing that sort of thing and now just try to enjoy the music.
Context of my experience is use as power tubes in an SET amp. (Line Magnetic 210)
FWIW.
