What 6922 tube will improve bass definition?

I have a Valve Audio Predator hybrid with stock Sovtek tubes. I want to improve the bass definition and grip. The Predator is driving Focus Audio FS8's. Both the Predator and FS8 are neutral but a touch dry, so a little midrange liquidity would be a nice added bonus. I don't want to spend $150+ per tube. Is there a modest priced tube under $100 that will meet these requirements? All suggestions are appreciated.

Do the Gold Lion reissues have any hardness or stridency in the mids or treble? I currently have that problem with the Sovtek tubes, especially when the volume is turned up. I don't have a problem if the GL are slightly forward or lively. This will help with the laidback(polite) nature of my speakers and amp.

Thanx, for all the recommendations. I'll give the Genalex GL tubes a try. If these don't meet my requirements the Mullard ECC88 are next. Is there a specific(label-color)that is the premium version of this tube?
