Trying to keep it simple.
A local fellow had some cheapo KT88s that he took out of a low hours new amp he had.Shuguang KT-88's which are about $40 a piece new and half that used.
These replaced my Winged C 6550s in the MKIII. I think I like them better. We listen mostly for folk and acoustic music and subs handle everything below about 80hz so I cannot really comment on the bass. This is mostly about the mids and highs.
It seems to do great with women's vocals and has a clarity I didn't know I was missing. Everything seems super detailed but still has a nice warm natural feel. I wish I could hear them really back to back, but I gotta say I am liking my cheap 88s.
