These came with my Jadis integrated, and I have always found that amp to offer excellent tone. Like Newbee pointed out, not warm, but not cold or sterile either. I find them to offer a nice balance.
It's nice to hear Zaikesman say they're the best of the current production, that will save me money down the road. Maybe when it comes time to replace them, I'll go for NOS Mullard or Telefunken, but we'll see.
I can also say that their power tubes are pretty bulletproof. 4.5 years and still going strong, on an amp that's on again off again on again all the time by several family members. Of course, NATO bombing the plant probably is the reason for the QA problems of late.
