EL34 vs 6CA7 vs KT77


I am looking to do some tube rolling soon. I currently running Winged "C" EL34s and like the sound overall. The "C"s have good balance and a tubey sound but could be tweaked here or there. Any suggestions or opinions on the EL34/6CA7/KT77 tube family is welcomed!

Mtb ww - I have compared Winged C EL34s to EH 6CA7s in Cyber Consonance 800SE monoblocks. To my ear, listening to Totem Forest speakers, the Winged Cs seem to have a little more warmth and possibly a tad more bass depth but the EHs seem to present a larger soundstage with more air and upper frequency extension. I will probably switch betweeen the two from time to time but right now I'm listening to the EHs. I expect results will be system dependent.
