Best current EL34 tubes

I have been getting excellent results with JJ tubes. I've been using the E34L the longest and prefer it to the KT77 for the way it reproduces the midrange. But if you are looking for natural sound accuracy, I would definitely recommend the KT77. I have not heard the SED tube.

are there any el 34s which are euphonic, i.e., attenuate the highs and have some "bloom" in the lower mids ?

i have a tube amp which is a bit too focused for my taste.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW XF2 MULLARDS SOUND IN MY DYNA ST70. I DON'T LIKE THAT SOUND, THOUGH. MY MULLARDS SIMPLY SIT ON MY AUDIO SHELF, APPRECIATING IN VALUE.

Winged SED all the way. Coming from a guitar player. :-)

Winged SED I agree with.

The EH EL34s perhaps are next along with the JJ KT77s.
