Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode

Anyone have experience with this? I have a Dialogue 2 and enjoy triode mode and wondered how these would sound. I Have used kt88s, el34s (SED winged c) and gold lion KT-77s and am currently diggin' the KT-77s. Prefer open, airy, natural detail. All pre tubes in Dialogue are Mullard and GE NOS. Thank you for your time! Rest of system is: Scout 1.1 with Soundsmith Zephyr, Audio Electronics DJH phono preamp (nos tubes) and MartinLogan EM ESLs.

Thank you for the reply! I appreciate it. I was thinking 120s may give me a little more power in triode mode, but won't do it if it means sacrifice to overall sound. Thanks again!

Thanks to everyone who responded, and in every manner - lol - Mikirob, I did read the Dudley Stereophile article on the 120s in Triode mode and thought it very interesting. Only one way to find out for myself I guess is buy a quad and try em. Of course, now I am thinking about SED Winged C 6550Cs and what they would sound like in Triode mode.
