LOL!!! All I'ma say is...I better get a darn discount! 

Your pioneer customer status does not entitle you to a discount on tube addition management classes, however, the first five enrolees will receive a free mystery tube (*) to fuel their newly managed tube addiction!
 
(*Free mystery tube must be accompanied by purchase of a matching tube at double the price marked.)

Perhaps something in my tube monoblock department would interest you then....

So I'm listening on GBZ7s right now. I couldn't STAND the JJs. Damn incoherent sounding. So little spacial data, it's frustrating. The GBZ7 is much more competent in terms of staging, but MAN I find the highest treble registers hot! The bass is FINE. I feel like I got much better definition on my old  Asgard, but overall staging has opened up and there's much more juiciness to the sound. 
 
Now, I don't personally want to spend anything more than $40 shipped for tubes at this point, but I really need something with slightly less hot treble and more bass impact and definition. I have a feeling my tolerance for treble heat is far less than I originally anticipated. Of course I don't want to sacrifice extension and airiness. Any suggestions?

Put a hundred hours on the GE's.  They'll change and like any tube...patience.
 
I agree, the JJ's suck swamp water.

So what would you recommend I roll next with my tastes though, in that $30-$40 range?

I went form the JJ's to the GE's and there is a world of distance. They're a stock set form Schiit. They're cheap and they're better than the JJ's in every way. Want more bass?  You got it. Want a fuller sound? Bam, son.
