Dunno which tubes you got but I'm amazed at how good my Jolida 502 P sounds with a nice set of Tungsol KT 150's. I had a set of 6550s and the KT150's are mo'better all around.

KT150s you say?
Why'd you do that? What are you driving with all the extra power?
I don't know that I really get much if any any extra power as the 502 circuit was designed for the KT88 - 6550 power tubes. Talking to Allen, the guy that owns Jolida he said maybe a few additional watts but the reason to get the KT 150's is that they just sound better.
I power Magneplanar 1.7's a very inefficient 4 ohm planar speaker. I like the sound of these speakers with the tube Jolida much more than I do with very powerful 300- 400 watt SS amps that I also own.
Right, they run a higher plate voltage, so you'll be running them lower in their range.
Maggies, ah!
