First a little background. I own a pair of Quicksilver Audio Silver 88 mono blocks. I have owned t he amps for about year and a half. Used Four different KT 88's. Here is the order in preferance:
1. Shuguang Treasures Series
2. Golden Lion reissue
3. Electro-Harmonix
4. JJ Electric
I have been using the KT 120's four about three weeks now. I would say about thirty hours on them. I really like these tubes. Sound is smoother, more linear frequency response. Bass is tauter with a little more emphasis. Highs are crisp and vibrant without sounding bright or harsh. Soundstage has a little more width, better depth, and more foward, i.e. room filling. Overall a very good tube.
One thing to keep in mind, these are large tubes. About a half inch taller than a KT 88, and about a quarter inch larger in diameter.
Best regards, bturk667
