JJ is the way to go, you can normally get a matched set for under $50.

If they're still available, a pair of JAN Phillips 7581s are what you are looking for. Monster headroom, tight clean bass and they last almost forever.

They may all be gone.

Bob at Eurotubes will set you up. Call him and tell him you want a pair of JJ's rated for maximum headroom.

Depends a lot on how you bias the amp too. Simply plugging in a particular brand of tubes doesn't guarantee anything.
