Tube Rolling on a Symphones + audio experience

hey all..
I just picked up this most excellent preamp, and i'm looking to replace the stock tubes.
1 6x4
3 12ax7s

I just picked up a matched pair of GE NOS JAN 5751s for the output stage (replacing stock chinese 12ax7s), and im looking for suggestions on others to try here. I was leaning towards a pair of GT 12ax7 as they are supposed to be a mullard rebuild, and the previous owner suggested some good mullards.

I'm looking to add some texture, some fowardness perhaps in the presentation. some midrange enhancement would be great. current bass responce is powerful, so i'm not looking to fatten that up.
stock, its sweet. but I want it dripping sweet.

amplification is provided via custom ICEpower modules, which is pretty neutral sounding to me, and plenty lively.

awaiting your comments.
got some to sell? hit me up!

hmmm...
i'm very good w/the soldering iron. i've wanted to do some upgrades, but dont know where or what. I'm confident I could replace anything on that board, its just knowing what to replace that kills me.

thanks for all the suggestions folks.
getting some GT 12ax7 mullard re-issues was on my "to do" list.
