I have decided to put the Gold Lions into the 2300 and see what happens. I plan to do this at the next best opportunity, possibly this weekend. It's not because I don't like the JJs in there now (very musical) or Mullards, but I did some research and decided to go for this. I'm hoping they'll be as smooth as the JJs and give me the bottom end I like. The GLs will be somewhat more open than the JJs I suspect, not quite as warm, so that may play well for the overall sound. We'll see what happens.
As usual, I want to give them at least a month before any big decisions are made, and will stop counting hours after I hit 30.
