The Tung-Sols have a bit of the same "chime" the RCAs do/did; and the B759 Genalex has a tone quite similar to an old stock Mullard or Amperex. They get along quite well.
The reissue Mullard long plate is fine - but it really has a very narrow point in the marketplace. The Genalex kind of took the "warm" market, and the Tung-Sol (and in some applications - like phono stages - the 12AX7LPS Sovtek) took the "livelier" market.
