Mullard produces the most neutral sounding EL34 I have ever heard. But I don't think they are worth the money. You might want to try something out of Germany ( Siemens, RFT, Telefunken ) It seems easier to find a matched quad, and the sound is quite good.
The Svets ( IMHO ) are the smoothest of the newly produced tubes, but lacking in bass. Tesla ( after breaking in ) have the most bass. But sometimes go out with a bang.
You can try thetubestore.com, they offer their opinions different EL34's. And thel also do a good job of matching.
