What would you do with an awesome quad of 6BQ5?


I got a great deal on a matched quad of used Amperex 6BQ5's. I have absolutely no need for the but couldn't pass up the deal (he had other tubes I did need). Now, do I look for an amp to put them in? Do I go for a headphone amp? Go for a serious project or build something? Budget isn't big, just my itch for another project.
OR
Do I just sell them since I already have 5 other amps? Grommes mono blocks, Mac solid state, PSE Studio IV, Dynaco ST-80 by Panor and a Music Hall.

And after your therapy, find a vintage Fisher or Pilot amp or integrated that uses these 6bq5 tubes and hear the magic that these tubes have. For current 6bq5(EL84) tubes, a good matched quad of JJ EL84 tubes are sounding very good in my refurbished Pilot 402 receiver.
If you got a good deal on the tubes and they are a matched quad with near-NOS measurements, you could always re-sell them for a tidy profit and use the proceeds to buy you some nice mountain bike equipment. (O:
