You will a few options for that amp..THe best I have ever heard the 8B is when I put KT66s in it..Yes,you read that correctly..The other tube that really rocks in that amp are the RCA 6L6gc black plates and very close is the 6P3Se russian tubes.
If I were to go with an EL34,the one I would consider is the Gen KT77 reissues..They give you top and bottom detail like a 6L6 and they are just a better tube for audio all around. Jim McShane has all the tubes you need with the best matching that even the factory can't do in a practical sense.
