RE: Current KT88 with least bass bloat

Where do we stand these days in terms of a linear sounding, current production KT88 without excessive upper-bass/lower-mid bloat?

Those tubes you mention are very good..There is also the Shuggie Treasures are great tubes as well. The Genelex Reissue Gold Lions are always a crowd favorite and you can alter the sound with your driver tubes.



I realize all this will be partially amp dependent. I have Rogue M180s with KT120 tubes, but it's too solid-state sounding for me. (Never thought I'd say that!) I tried some JJ KT88 but those have the "bloat."

I would work with the smaller tubes in the amp because that will help with a more influential change..If you can't get it with tubes,you may need to upgrade the coupling caps in your amps.
