Quicksilver V4's- KT88's or EL34's ?

Which tubes do you use with your Quicksilver V4 Monoblocks, KT88's or EL34's? If you prefer one over the other, please explain why. I am using Telsa KT88's now and love the sound. I'm considering trying the Telsa EL 34's just to try them and see how they sound and maybe do something a little different for awhile. Thank you very much. PS My speakers are VSA VR4jr's.

I collect vintage tubes so I have tried a load of them. I like the Mullard Blackburn's - they are smooth and work well versus other El34's I have tried. I like the top-end and reasonable low-end. They are nice although costly these days.

That is a shame - but they are not making vintage tubes anymore. The new El34's can sound as good as the vintage tubes but the overall quality of the build is not as high.
