Knowing what UK ECC82 tubes you have, I'd recommend skipping the CV2492.It looks like this UK based E-bay seller no longer has these Brimar CCa listed.

Have a pair of Mullard Mitcham E88CC in the classifieds here, but they are warm tubes like the Brimar CV2492 and not your desired sound sig. If your open to using socket savers and 12A*7 to ECC88 adapters the Telefunken ECC82 and Siemens ECC82 fit your description And are in my signature. If your not into the adapter scene that's cool too. I can make some recommendations on 6DJ8 variants if you want?
Neutralish sounding Siemens E88CC grey shields or Telefunken E88CC, these are bit warmer than the Siemens with the Siemens having more detail. If those are too expensive you can try the ECC88 variants as they will be cheaper than the E88CC usually.Thanks. What are some variants I can directly use.....and not have to import? Don't want to spend a lot on adapters and tubes, at least till I know I want to keep it. Just looking for tubes a little more neutral sounding. May not have time to import before I decide whether the amp is for me or not. Have about 20 days left.
I have seen some Matsushita's 7DJB's around and have been described as extended on the top and bottom. Any good?Neutralish sounding Siemens E88CC grey shields or Telefunken E88CC, these are bit warmer than the Siemens with the Siemens having more detail.

Never tried them but the people who have found them mediocre sounding usually.I have seen some Matsu****a's 7DJB's around and have been described as extended on the top and bottom. Any good?
Has anyone been able to compare the LP to the WA6 (non-SE)?
I have both and IMHO they are quite different. The WA6 (I have the original, not the current V2) is a very lush-sounding tube amp and tube rolling can change the sound quite a bit. The LP has the trademark liquid Cavalli midrange but is more neutral-sounding to my ears.
Which would you say has greater bass impact?
I thought that might be the answer, as I really can't imagine the bass hitting any harder, than with the LP and the right tubes. The bass just explodes out of nowhere!The LP, especially using the balanced output.
