Funny you should mention, I'm swapping out the EL34s in my JCM 800 for KT88s this week. Expensive as fuck though, for a quad.

I loaded my Twin Reverb up with 5881s (plus a few NOS preamp tubes) and the amp really opened up. the 6L6s are great, but the 5881s just have character...maybe it's the way I have them biased as well...

All though the EL34's give a nicer natural overdrive, I prefer 6L6's because the clean tone is more sparkly and jangly and they give you an excuse to buy a nice overdrive pedal.
