well, I wouldn't say they are brutal sounding. They can be downright lush if you want. the tube is but one piece in a much larger puzzle as far as overall sound quality. If you like how valves look, everything mentioned will look WAY better than a 520B, in my opinion. I too like good looking tubes, and won't bother building with stuff I think is ugly (GM70 as an example). the Eimac and WE stuff is extremely elegant, some of the best and most interestingly made works of art in the tube world. I find the older the better as far as tube elegance from a visual standpoint goes. transmitting tubes almost always look more interesting/better/unique than any 'recieving' tube, also.basically those I mentioned are transmitting tubes, with power outputs in SET mode of 20W or greater (double or more for PP). Most have thoriated tungsten filaments (nice and bright). Images can be found here on AA or on google images most likely. All mentioned should be feasible for class A1 SET operation or PP audio operation.
