I have Harbeth M40 speakers that are an inefficient load. The bass response is on the loose side so if the KT88's will have more control on the bottom end, I'd definitely like that. I also could use a little more top end as well so the Tungsol sounds like it may not work for me.

I need a total of 12 tubes so it is an expensive purchase. I've been seeing a lot of reliability issues on this thread and was hoping to get more input from users of this tube. I'm also curious about the sonic differences between the Winged "C" 6550 and GL KT88's. Another possibility would be the TUNGSOL 6550's. The MFA 200D's are pretty powerful amps. 120 watts triode/220 ultra linear. The speakers I'm using are Harbeth M40. I appreciate your input and hope to hear some helpful responses on the subject.
