I sought the famous Mullard XF2 but had to settle for XF3s if I am recalling correctly, to lazy to look through my tubes to be certain. They just weren't all that spectacular in the 40 watt PP EL-34 amp I had been using at the time. As all are saying the frequency extension is poor both on top and bottom. I put them away and went back to my JJ E34L blue glass tubes which are really quite good and have more bass than your standard EL-34.
I haven't tried the GL KT-77s but I will if the opportunity arises.
I use the fat bottle Electro Harmonix 6CA7s in my tube mono block Cyber 800s from Opera Consonance. They are simply awesome and I rarely use that expression. They sound like they have twice the power they say they have. If you want a big sound a powerful sound the big bottle EH 6CA7 is the way to go.
As for your question-$1,000 is much too much. If you still feel like you must try the NOS Mullards ask if he will let you listen to some used ones he has. I doubt he'll do it but you never know.
