I do have one set of RCA EL84s I could try.

Any recommendations on a more laid back set up front for pre or amp?
RCAs are pretty laid back, and I've found National Unions to be pretty good at the mids. Of course vintage Tung Sols are amazing and IME the best of the SN7 type tubes, but everyone knows that and thus they are very expensive.
