Ruby el34s sound flat?


I just put a new quad of Ruby EL34s in my Quicksilver Mid Monos. The highs are limited, the sound stage is smaller and it just sounds veiled. Is this just a bad choice for this amp or do they just need to "break in"? Previously I had Teslas. I am using Gallo 3.1's

Thanks for all of the responses. After playing them for about 30 hours I have grown to like them. The bass is definitely better than the Teslas ( more and tighter) but sound stage a little smaller and upper treble a bit muted but all in all very musical. I may try EHs next based on what I have heard.
