Help With Tube Suggestions for BAT VK-55se, please


Hello, I've got a VK-31se preamplifier and VK-55se amplifier with balanced cables from Blue jeans. I have Sierra-1 speakers, a Velodyne SMS-1, and a Rythmik Audio 15HP-SE subwoofer. My cables are nothing special, and I use an Oppo BDP-93 as my source for CD's and Pandora for most of my listening.

I need to retube my VK-55se, and I'd like to get tubes that won't let my system down, but I don't think I can get much benefit from mega-buck tubes with my setup, either. I already have four new matched 6C33B tubes, so just need the others, and was hoping for some suggestions.

Which tubes have the largest impact on sound quality?

Can anyone offer suggestions on tubes I should consider? I plan on replacing all the remaining tubes; 6H30's, 6SN7's, and 6922's.

I listen to mostly jazz/blues, and ambient/electronica, so tight, deep, bass and an open soundstage are important to me.

Thanks for any input,

Mike
