Tube Rolling Quicksilver v4, Preamp recommedation

I've got a quicksilver V4 with Stock KT 88's. I wanted to experiment with other tubes to see what it sounds like. I've thought about some EL34's or upgrading the KT 88's. I'd like to hear comments.
I'm also considering a tube preamp. I'm currently using the pre-out from a YBA Passion integrated. It sounds pretty nice, but was curious what a nice tube would do.

I would give Mike @ Quicksilver a call, as he will be more than happy to give you an "impression" of what to expect with different tubes.

I ran my V4's with Ei KT-90 Type III's. Very linear, good bottom end control, liquid mids, not as warm as the KT-88's. Each amp was tested at 170 wpc configured with the KT-90's when it left QS production.
