Changing EL-34's to 6550 or Kt-88's


Hello

I have a Conrad-Johnson Premier 4. It has 8 EL-34's with individual bias contols for each tube, It is a large amp that wieghs 82pounds and is 100wpc. I have seen adds of amps for sale and they say that the amp can take EL-34's, 6550's or kt-88 and soforth. So is it as simple as just switching the tubes and resetting the bias? What is the benifet of switching, more power? or better sound?

Thanks
Darin

I am using the conrad johnson Premier 4 to drive the ribbon mids and tweets on my Infinity RS-1b's. So basicly the El-34's are my best bet for sound quality since I have another amp driving my woofers.

Thanks for the help.
