There's nothing 'wrong' with them. It's just that I find them not 'special,' much like how I feel about GE 6SN7GTB's. A special tube has the ability to lender you with jaws open, saliva dripping, babbling something to yourself like, "Oh my Lord..."
I'm not surprised you like the Kenrads. I prefer them to likes of Tungsol Roundplates and even Sylvania VT231. I see TS RP on sale for like $200-300/pair these days; unless you are super curious and rich, I suggest you try some others instead before forking over this kind of dinero.
My current fave combo is National Union grey glass in tandem with Kenrad Black glass, all with Herbies. Together, these two are like Kate Beckingsale in "Underworld" melted with Ava Gardner. One of them would be all-right
but two in one...
