Best tubes for Sonic Frontiers 80

Hello,
My amp is a Sonic Frontiers 80 (in stereo) and I am wondering what would be the best power tubes for this piece of equiptment. Currently on this site there is two pair of Ei- KT90 for a fair price.As of now I am running EH KT-90 which sound fine but as we are aware of we must search for the holy grail. Excluding Gold Lion for
price,(KT-88) what would be my best power tubes for my amp? This amp can take, EL-34.KT-88, KT-90 & 99.
Thanks for all the help.

I have tried many different brands and the most pleasant combination for me was Siemens CCa as 6922's and Svetlana 6550 winged C.
My second 6922's favorate are the Amperex 'orange globe' and my second choice as power tube is El 34 Telefunken, less power but still top performance, at least for me.
Mullard is always a fantastic expensive tube option and Ei 6dj8 a very good inexpensive top choice.
