I thought you found the current Gold Lions to sound brittle. I had never heard them described that way, but more warm than anything out there excepting the old English tubes. Your system seems to be a warm one, and despite my own inveterate tube rolling activity, I am surprised you need to coax much more warmth out of it.
A long time ago I bought a pair of old GEC 12AU7s they tested very low. They sounded great however and despite their failing status at this point, they still sound superb. I used them sparingly.
