  Thanks for all the input. Any thoughts on the GT-6L6GE or GT-6L6-CHP?

  the Svetlana 6L6GC is a surprise tube... a friend let me borrow a used quad and they are tough beasts at 30W plate / 500V plate - it's a tube I could easily live with day-to-day. I used them on my newly rebuilt Dynaco Mark IIIs (!!!) until I got my 6550s in.

  I have been using SHUGUANG KT66 in my W5M amps.
  I like them.

  
  As a side note, I have made a few changes and thought it was worth while, YMMV.

  I have run Valve Art KT66s in my W5Ms for about three years. I retired them when one of the quad dropped 20% in transconductance over three months or so. They still sounded fine. I put about 2500 hrs on them.

  Another solid choice is the SED 6L6GC. It sounds good in a W5M and takes the current without breaking a sweat. Good tube!

  I've heard nice things about the Valve Art KT66s, but never heard them myself.
