Should I upgrade my Tubes

I have a Rogue Audio Magnum II which is 100 Watts per channel paired with Vandersteen Treo CT speakers. My tubes seem to be shot as suddenly I get no amplification (just very low level audio). The 4 power tubes are TUNG-SOL KT120. I have been reading about getting "better" tubes but every discussion seems to get into "depends how you like the sound" types of comments similar to every other audio component - LOL.

So what's a man do ?

I had the same amp. Found that KT90s sounded better than KT120s, especially on voice.

Btw, not to go in another direction on this thread, but —
Replacing the fuses had more of an effect in this amp than anywhere else in my systems. My guess is because the fuses are DIRECTLY in the audio signal path in this amp. Just trying to be helpful.
