6550 to KT88



I switched out my EH6550's to JJ KT88's yesterday in my Rogue M120's, quite a difference from the get go...much better bass, sound stage is wide/deeper and overall I like the way they reproduce the music better... so now I'm wondering if the KT90's will be any better? Anyone go from the 88's to the 90's and stay with the 90's? Thanks for your comments.

Hi,
I rolled the svetlana 6550 and ei's kt90 on a pair of jadis Ja-30 before i changed to the Jadis se300b's.
I loved the 6550 over the kt90 although the lost of punch on the bass region. The mids and highs never sounded more sweet and relaxed. Since I´m using 93db on the low octaves the less power on bass wasn´t an issue. The great "BUT 2 here is that mids are made with a vintage jbl driver and horn and are very sensitive to "Harshness". I think in a regular dome midrange-high driver the kt90 maybe the best way to go.
