After the responses I did not do much with it since the likely hood of improvement seems limited and unclear to me at this point.
Instead I overhauled a HH Scott 299 with new caps restored to all original and some new tubes driving Klipsch-cornerhorns and that set up sound balanced and as good as I would expect from that combo. (the mid-range on that is nowhere near the Jadis DA50 set up but it plays very musical).
Still running the KT90's on the DA50 / legacy Illusion (one was blowing up but had an extra one and got it running). ( they tested Ok ). Four KT88's (Genalex Gold Lion) may be the next attempt.
I am still not happy with the performance for my taste. I head a great sound experience with Jadis amps during a Demo long ago and my set up is just falling short.
The mid-range is good a touch to antithetical (would like a bit more musical) but just a touch off. Some users push the tubes with a higher Bios or so not sure if i want to go in that direction.
The base is not where I would like it to be. The speaker should go to 20Hz, maybe the amp can't handle it pushing the 3x 15" per Ch with the 15W per Ch. I have heard the speakers perform better. The Legacy Illusion speaker are pretty sensitive 98db , so should be okay I guess.
With the current setup I don't bi-amp and don't use the volume crossover control for the speaker may be that speaker sounds better with more amplification. I was just hoping for a more simple set up.
