Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?

I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium with stock EL34s.  When the EL34s wear out, which I suspect will be a long time, what would I replace them with?  The KT150 is intriguing to me. 

Has anyone compared these tubes, especially in Primaluna gear?  I'm wondering if I would lose the EL34s midrange in exchange for the increased power of KT150s.  It's hard to find, however, a bad review of anyone using KT150s. 

Thanks all!

I'm thinking of a Primaluna. How much of a sonic difference between KT88 and EL 34's?

Question. Any tube sets (kt88,el34,etc) that are better for low volume listening? Probably 30% of my listening is at low volume. I currently have a Pioneer EQ that I switch on ( true bypass switch) for low volume that fills in the low end. I plan on keeping it in the chain when I go with tubes.
