Let's look at it this way:

Cost of upgrading one pair of Quicksilver V4s to match the other pair: $2000
Replacing power tubes every two years: $800
Replacing driver tubes every four years: $300

2 x Pass Labs X250 on Audiogon: $5000
Sale of my stock Quicksilver V4s on Audiogon: ($3000)
(Optional) Sale of my upgraded Quicksilver V4s on Audiogon: ($4000)

But I dunno. I'm just mildly annoyed at the high-maintenance nature of tubes at the moment, especially with four monoblocks of 'em.
