apparently JJ Tesla tubes sound less agressive and much smoother.

Some other alternatives from Watford Valves:

Sovtek Cryo 5881's - £13 each, so £52 a quad.
Harma 5881's - £12 each, so £48 a quad.
Harma Cryo 5881's - £15 each, so £60 a quad.

Apparently the Tungsol's are really, really good.

Be careful with Watford valves prices. They don't include VAT or delivery I think.

Can't you just replace two valves if you're gonna use it at half power anyways?

Have a good hunt around eBay, and check in the US too, you can pick up some good prices, the only downside form the US is the postage time. My order took a week for the funds to clear and 2 weeks for the shipping time, but I got a great 5751 Tung-Sol NOS quad for under 40 quid inc postage! (pound to dollar rate is very favourable at the moment, well favourable to UK buyers anyway).
