kt-120 or kt-88?

Hay every one I am seeing more and more people go with kt-120 power tubes with there tube amps.

Whats the difference between the kt-120 output tubes vs the kt-88's?
Is it true that the kt-120 gives more power for your speakers too run?

I have a tube class A Triode power amp and can run the kt-120s but are they that better then the regular kt-120.

Whats your experience and thoughts of this tubes?

If your amp is designed for a KT88 tube and you put in a KT120 tube, it will not produce more power unless modified. A lot of KT88 amps can accommodate a KT120 tube (check your manufacture) and the KT120 tube will produce a different sound signature. Whether it will be to your liking, is very subjective.

It is tough to generalize about a tub’s sound because is behave differently in different amps and circuits.
