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.

Emission Labs 300B-XLS, or if you can adjust the bias and get away with less output try the EML 300B-mesh.

Hey Abill, I don't want to hijack the thread but how are you liking the Victory IV?

I don't disagree about Coincident's being one of the best values in hi-end. BTW if your system requires more bottom end and dynamics, I really like the EML 300B - XLS, this is the tube I use.
