Sed wing "C"EL-34 or JJ KT77 for Velleman amp?.

Folks,
I'm running a stock 100 watt Velleman kit amp. eight EL34.B+ is 430 pv.Not sure of the primary impedance.The transformers are IPS torodial made in England.
I'm using older stock JJ-E34L,and have pounded them pretty hard over the last couple of years!.
I'm looking for a tube with nice treble extension with lots of air but not too bright or harsh.Solid deep low end and a nice smooth midrange.
I would describe my system as somewhat bright with some harshness in the top end,and would like to tone it down a bit.I listen to mostly vinyl.Rock jazz and blues,and really like to pull the trigger sometimes.

I have heard good things about the JJ-KT77 and it can bias the same as a EL-34,but has a different sound?.
My friend who built the amp recommends SED wing "C" EL-34,and also thought with the lower plate voltage that a Chinese EL-34 would sound nice.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers,Rob.
