Welcome to the analog fun times mate. I was similar, although running KT88s, and really it’s the best I've had it. I use to firmly believe you need the highest power you can afford, but now 25W on Triode and 45W on UL is actually more than enough with my Wharfedale Super Lintons. I never even touch

Classic vintage warmth without being tiring, it’s Wharfedale Linton, and Super Lintons for me all the way.

Wharfedale Linton 85th. Not only beautiful, but timeless and will age gracefully.

Wharfedale Super Lintons (demo powered by HifiRose or Cambridge Audio EXA100) gave me goosebumps with almost every song I demoed, and the more emotional pieces I demoed absolutely choked me up. So I bought them.

Wharfedale Linton is exactly what you are describing and is very highly reviewed.

Nice set up! Sorry you need to let them go. I’ve had the Heresy’s, Forte’s, and the super lintons. The wharfedales are definitely a different experience compared to the heritage line up. A bit warmer, and can be fuller at louder volumes, but the heritage lineup had the edge at lower listening volume

KLH Model Five or Wharfedale Linton Heritage most likely the best around for what you're asking for.

I had the same KEF speakers with the exact equivalent Marantz unit. Same Eames chair too 😂. It's the setup. I replaced the fronts with Wharfedale Super Lintons and got the depth I craved. We moved, then I added an Advance Paris A12 Classic and they really shine. I still use the Marantz for TV listen

I’ve never heard music be more “alive” than from Wharfedale Lintons. They are warm but soooooo listenable. No fatigue whatsoever. I’ve settled on Super Lintons as my next speaker.
