Good point about the Quicksilvers. Never heard them but wouldn't hesitate to purchase without hearing if my amp ever gave up the ghost.Almost bought a quad of Genelex KT88's to try. Were on special at a dealer recently. But while browsing around other sites I came across and purchased a quad of the older Svetlana SV6550C at an even better price so grabbed them instead to keep as spares.
The Winged C St Petersburg with Square holes, either SED or older Svetlana, are really all that I've ever tried other than what appeared to be the stock tubes the amp came with when I purchased it 2nd hand a couple of decades ago.
I also picked up a pair of RCA 6550's in the Spring. Want to give one a try in that 5th position. I didn't realize how much of a difference that single tube made on the overall sound until I tossed a new 6550WE in there and it was not to my liking so went back to a winged C. Never know until you try I guess. Unfortunately I am way way behind on tweaking and best intentions still sitting in boxes.
I'll be sure to post any updates.
