Bartok, I think your experience with other output tubes is experience with those AMPLIFIERS. An excellent-sounding amp can be built around vurtually ANY output tube. Also, 845-based SETs, which usually have 20 - 25 Watts, may well be short on power for ANY speaker with sensitivity below more than 90dB.
You don't tell us how much power your Jadis amps have; how much?
One alternative to 845-based SETs is the Antique Sound Lag Cadenza, a push-pull amp of 60 Watts... http://www.divertech.com/aslcadenzadt.htm . Harry Pearson raved about them in his review of the Hansen speakers in the January issue of 'The Absolute Sound'. Rather expensive at $6K.
I use ASL's new 845-based SETs, the AQ1006(845)... http://www.divertech.com/asl1006845dt.html ...to drive my DIY 97dB-sensitive line-array, open-baffle speakers.

They sound VERY good together on aLL the music I play, which is mostly large-scale Classical and film music.
