Being that NOS tubes are esentially new tubes that have been around and never used,they will have pretty much the same characteristics as the new production tubes.
What I experience with new and nos tubes is non linenerities such that the music will have a lot of sharp peaks and dips in the spectrum and yes it will be bright and sharp at times.
A piano for instance may sound like the musician is pounding super hard on the keys when in fact he isnt but when the tubes break in the music will be much smoother and more listenable and have much more realism.
