Hey guys!

I'm looking for a pair of high quality EF91 tubes that have a very neutral sound.
I was proposed the Brimar 6AM6 / CV4014 tube to replace the existing ones that I have in my T_150 power amp.

Does anyone have info on the quality and sound caracteristics of the Brimar?

With the current tubes that I have in the MK IV SE, I want something very neutral in the T_150 and not add more color because in the end it will sound too saturated. I very much like the Sylvania 5654 in the preamp and I want to be able to hear what they do.
Therefore, what tubes are of very good quality and very neutral?
If the Brimar are a lame copy of the Mullards. Which Mullards are HQ and very neutral?

I have both the Brimar 6AM6 and the Mullard EF91, I know for a fact that the Brimar is not a rebadged Mullard since they sound nothing alike and even have very different internal construction. My Brimar has a much more solid state sound versus the Mullard which is very warm. I use them in my Little Dot I+ though.

I'm not proposing anything,I'm just saying that I've never heard someone use the words "Brimar" and "lame" in the same sentence. British tubes are generally top notch.

Did you try out the brimars and Mullards on your T-150. What were the results.
