You're absolutely right. It's an interesting description about the differences in circuits. One person's garbage is another person's gold. I will say that after listening, I can understand how someone could describe the KT90 as lacking "warmth" as opposed to the EL34 and 6550's.I tried some Svetlana EL34's and they really were not to my personal liking. The EL34 sound was very sedate and loose to my ears. The 6550's was a bit more up-front with things and I was relatively happy with the performance I was getting. My inefficient speakers, however, seemed to suck a lot of power off the amp leaving the sound a little too dainty.
I finally figured I would try the KT90, for the hell of it, just to see what happens. I read some comments about the KT90 being a poor choice for my amp, but who am I to believe everything I read on the Internet, right?
With the KT90, I get all of the sound "texture" that I could want with none of the overtly analytical sound of high-buck solid state gear. I am in tube heaven once again!
But yeah, I understand that this sound is neither wrong nor right. It's all a personal choice. I will keep my other power tubes around to roll with now and then. It's still a fun hobby. :)
