2 sextets of KT88s or a matched dozen for Defy7 ?

I am just getting ready to retube an amp that has 12 KT88 and wonder if the proper order should be for 2 matched sextets or a matched dozen....

I wish there was a company that rented out tubes so you could audition a few sets to find the right sound for your system.

I am going to try out some Gold Lions and hope they end up sounding as good as my Orchestra Reference system.

Does anyone else have a favorite tube for their Jadis amp?

4est - You are correct about the 4 bias pots, but I did not realize that each pot controlled the different phases on each channel. Very interesting comment that adds a little more light for me. And I also have heard some very positive comments about the Winged C tubes, especially the cryoed version. I wish there was a way to try them out in my system without buying them right away. That would be really nice.
I have another Jadis with the Gold Lions in it and I LOVE IT.

Thanks to Brf and Rodman also.... all very good information.

So far it sounds like either a matched dozen or 2 matched sextets should do the job.
