I only have 6 of the JJ 2A3-40 so I do know what they sounds like. They produce a bit more power at the higher plate voltage and killer heater current requirement most off the shelf 2A3 amps can't supply.
Soundwise, what's so special about them? I have DIY PP 45 / 2A3 / VT-52 amp as well as commercial offering from Raysonic 2A3 amp that uses PP 2A3.
In both amps, I prefer 45 over 2A3 (JJ or RCA or Sylvania). VT-52 comes close to the 45 with a bit fatter mid. Pick your poison based on your speakers but for my OB FR Line Arrays, I don't see how JJ 2A3 kicked any 45 tubes to the curb.
I also have a couple of 45 / 2A3 SET amps and I found the same result as in PP amps.
May be you need to rethink about your speaker choice.
