Kt-150
I strongly agree with the positive comments about the KT-150. I use mine in an Inspire Firebottle with an LP3.1 Ultra preamp into a pair of classic BBC monitors in a small room. I tried many tubes before I settled on the KT-150's. None of the other tubes rendered enough bass for me. With these Russian Tung-Sol tubes, I get excellent mid range and smooth highs.
My speakers are by design bass light but with these tubes there is enough low end to satisfy me. They are not sensitive but the impedance curve is very tube amp friendly. I mostly listen to Jazz with some folk and acoustic blues, so this is an excellent combination for my listening space.
I also agree that they are really impressive looking tubes.
