Tung Sols sound very good and if I were buying a new quad, that's what I would grab. I have a stash of tubes though that will take me far into the future. If you can find GT EL34LS, I highly recommend those...they stopped making them just a year ago or so and are very nice in a Marshall, almost as nice as my quad of Winged C or Siemens. I bought 2 quads for the Wizard MC as they are highly recommended, but equally good in my 2210.
GT E34LS are JJ's. As mentioned above, I'd steer clear of those in a JSX.
Not sure why OP is so against KT77's. They're a match made in heaven for that amp.
I will make another suggestion overlooked here.. The JJ 6CA7's sound absolutely huge in that amp as well. I've owned 4 or 5 JSX's, (maybe more than that), and I've tried them all.
Wrong. Yes, the GT EL34L is the same as the JJ EL 34L, but I am talking about the GT EL34LS. Not the single L. Different tube altogether. The L has the deeper low end, I don't care for it as it turns Marshalls into mud city.
Here's an example, you can clearly see the LS on the tube..

This subject was hashed out when the LS suddenly stopped being available, as guys who ordered them were receiving the JJ version single L with GT branding, and were upset that GT thought no one would notice.
Like I said, in a Marshall or my old Wizard they sounded just as good as a quad of Siemens.
