Driving Kt-88

74.179.132.107

I would greatly appreciate any help on this question. What is the difference between driving KT-88's with 12ax7 types versus 6sn7's. Cary, Cayin and Audio Space all make 6sn7 driven amps, while Jolida and many others use 12ax7's. I'm getting ready to buy a KT-88 power amp. Even personal opinions are welcome. thanks
