That depends on your budget, but I'm currently listening to a set of Butt Ugly Amperex tubes from Brent Jesse's site that match the sound you describe. They are here:
http://www.audiotubes.com/butt.htm
Search for E88CC / 6922 "BUTT UGLY" Amperex white PQ type on the page to find them. They run $170 a pair. Compare that to the $380 a pair my Telefunken platinums run, and the butt uglys are a bargain. The Telefunkens have more detail and high end extension and the bass is tighter, but the Amperex tubes have more bass that's not bloated and a relaxed top end that's exactly what you're describing. I took a chance on something that would sound different than the Telefunkens while still sounding good and these fit the bill. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks!, already checked the website....will definitely give them a shot, did you buy your´s at that website?
By the way, Im trying now the RCA 6BQ7A and even if they don´t get the sound I want with the HD700, they do make a terrific job with the Fidelios X1...the combination really rocks...
