RE: What do you expect to hear?

Samzx12-

Those are 1950ish RCA 6L6G. They are still relatively easy to find and not outrageously priced as many NOS power tubes.

There are a few threads comparing EL34 to 6L6, so you may want to check the archives.

I simply hear a more believable presentation of music/vocals in my system. Their output is less, so you may notice less "pop" as you described the KT77.

The mids are less technicolor than the 34's, but still there compared to a KT88 type.
Something about the overall tone, is what catches my attention.

It's all subjective, so that's why I suggest the archives. I'd like to try the KT150, but price is a little more than I want to spend on glass bottles.
