Will I hear better sonic from WE300B on my system

I have an Audio Electronic Supply SE-1 with heavy upgrades (jensen oil caps, eddison speaker binding, hexfred,and so on) The amp has volume so I don't use preamp. tubes are Sylvania VT-231s and AVVT 300B tubes.

Source is a CAL IconII, cables are Zu Julian and Oxyfuel and Groneberg power cord.

Speaker is Silverline Panatella 2

I am thinking about getting a new pair of WE300Bs, but not sure if I will hear the sonic improvement. I mean is my system limited by other component? WE is expensive, but considering 40000 hrs life, it 's probably cost about the same as 2 or 3 pairs of other tubes with shorter life, but I get better (hopefully) sonic as a plus.

Anyone have tried WE300B on not a top notch amp and think if it's worth it? If WE300B is overkill, any suggestion for other tubes that also have longlife?

Thanks,

Ake

Yes, you will hear the improvement.
Any SET amps will come and go but you can always keep the WE 300B.
Unless you are going for the NOS WE 300B, the new production WE300B is the best there is.
