No reason this should not be a superb match.Btw,Kur tank.....Those pricey tubes you and your pal splurged on,where actually a "supeb" investment in sound!
I did a little tube survey a few years ago,in my phono stage(of then)and the Amperex CCa's reigned supreme,by a big margin.I tested numerous alternative mfgrs.All the usual suspects.
Most were fine,but those Amperex tubes(mine were a small fortune too,but tested better than any others we knew of....they were really special) were amazing!!...I came just short of getting myself the Pinched waist variey,only because I wanted a matched set.You know how hard "that" is -:)
You are a fortunate fellow.
Good luck
