I believe the previous poster failed to notice that you're requesting MP-1 recs. I have an MP-1 paired with M60s and have found the Sylvanias to be my preference in the MP-1. Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Andy @ Vintage Tube Services and do it soon as he's closing up shop pretty soon. Discuss your sonic priorities and he'll take it from there. It may take a few weeks but you'll get the real deal NOS stuff graded expertly by a pro. Nuff said.
