Recommend 300b tubes for Frankenstein Amps

I purchased a pair of used Kr 300b Ballons with about 100 hours for my Coincident Frank. Amps. It is or was an excellent match with my Total Victory IV Loudspeakers. At about 60 hours of play one of the tubes went dead .
So my question is .
Is there another that is reliable that sounds as good as the Balloons ?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I emailed Israel and he also recommends the Black Glass. He said they sound as good as the kR Balloons and are very reliable. He is currently using a pair as we speak.

I've had the Victory IV's for almost a year and I have no desire to get ride of them. I was using them with a well known 300b amp, which I sold. I purchased a Coincident Frankenstein amp and the speakers sound much better . Then I purchased coincident Extreme power cables and rca interconnects and I can't believe how much better everything sounds. Never sounding harsh very well balanced sound from top to bottom.
If you purchase the victory IV's and you don't like the sound it's not the speakers.
I think Coincident is the best value for the dollar !
Israel is always quick to respond to emails.
Hope this helps.
